I have Vista Home Premium and can download and play Bigfish games. The PC
is an HP and I have no problem installing HP's updates.

I'm guessing the difference between my PC and yours is that I have turned
UAC off. I know that a lot of the MVPs will say not to do that, but UAC has
cause more trouble than it is worth and, IMHO, is one reason that many folks
are so unsatisfied with Vista.

Try turning UAC off and see if that solves your problems. You can always
turn it back on when ever you want.

Good luck.
