Minor Corrections (StupidFingersToday): My install path c:LionSnake
My processor is AMD 64 X2 5200+ (not 63(??) X2)

Anyway - should explain - Vista seems to exhibit very strange behaviour,
designed to 'protect' your system. Vista becomes an unholy 'control freek'
with many apps under the 'Program Files' or 'Program Files (x86)' paths; if
it is an app that was not specifically designed for Vista, following strict
Vista design guidelines and blessed by the high Muckety Muckety Priest of
Microsoft Billy Gates, you find that you can't change .INI files, or
changes to .INI files have no effect; if you change settings WITHIN the app
sometimes they have no effect, etc. I had to hack my registry to get my
virus scanner to work the way it should.
