Real Arcade games

I just got Vista and even though the demo games will download once I buy them
I cannot get them to re-download. Vista is making me paranoid. Anyone have
any answers....

If you're having problems with online games like Real Arcade you might check
with Real Networks, see if they offer technical support. Chances are if you
paid for games they can offer you support and assistance with re-installing
them.

Usually those Demo/Casual games, once you pay for them they just unlock and
you can play the whole game, no need to download again. Try restarting Real
Arcade (Reboot your system maybe), try the games you purchased again and see
if they have magically unlocked.

Thanks, Andy! I'll try your suggestions. I already uninstalled real arcade
and reinstalled it but that didn't help.

I have no problems with Real Arcade games. I was told to right click on Real
Arcade icon on desktop, and then Run as Administrator. All other ways have
failed for me, this method is foolproof (so far!), Nick
