RE: Fresh Install of Vista Ate Poor Otto!

I just did an "Upgrade Install" from Media-centre to Vista and although I
still have OTTO (and Gemmaster) neither of these games now work. Otto starts
to load then says - "game already started - use back to resume". Gemmaster
just freezes.
I did try the "trial version" from the yahoo site - but it didn't work
either - and didn't appear to be a Windows Media centre version anyway. I
have had no luck in finding any resolution to this. Did your new downloaded
version work ?
