I bought a game called "cake mania". It also came with another game called "back to the bakery". I got them about a year ago. I have uninstalled them so I wouldn't be tempted to play them while taking college classes. Then I reinstalled them. I could play cake mania right after I reinstalled it. Now when I go back to it, it gives me an error message and will not let me play it. I can play back to the bakery after reinstalling it with no problems. Why can I play one and not the other?

What is the error message?

This is an issue with Vista.
She had this issue after an update, and I get the same error on my machine.
I will buy the new version for her when I have a few extra $

Has she tried running in compatibility mode?

[hfcg]

Yes, and also from the disc itself.

What is the error message she is being given? Is the game not firing up at all or is it firing up and then crashing? Is UAC turned off?

I came across this doing some research: http://www.bestvista...d-yxfnjkrs.html

I'm not sure if it is the full version of the game or not but it comes from a website called Best Vista Downloads. I would give it a shot. It might be a newer version that will be more compatible with Vista.
