don't put continuum on your c: drive, put it on your d: par!@#$%^&*ion (vista protects the drive where windows is installed on, even when run on admin). While this is generally a good thing, legit applications also get access denied errors when they are calling the file API of windows (i've had it with my programs in vb in vista). I always seperate my C: windows and D: my program files/games E: remainder eps, etc, so when i reinstall i only have to format my C:, and i still have all my data
