As per my last email.
Just did a google search and pulled up this

Which makes sense, as I was using the simple user compatibility tool to 
check my app with last week, it must of stuck some values in the 
registry (in that location) and not canned them which caused this problem.

Ah well, only an hour wasted as I was going back through the program 
changes history to find out what I did to break it on vista lol. Good 
times....
