Have you tried extracting the scripts, right-clicking on the EXE then go to  "Properties" then "Compatibility" tab, and tick "RUn as Administrator", click OK. Do this for all the EXE's, and repack them.
Setting the properties of an exe like that does not change the exe! This means that if you repackage them, you wont 'store' the new compatibility setting. It will be lost.

Thus even if setting the compatibility thing to admin would have fixed the problems, repackaging them and redistributing them will not work.

No.
(And the exe in the original ReduceMem script is nothing more than a file which executes one Windows API. The exe isn't even needed). The reason why some scripts do not work on Vista hasn't got anything todo with being administrator.

The scripts that do not work quite often use external libraries or other things which were written for XP and use XP specific Windows APIs, etc...

For example, all scripts which use the Xniff library (search forums with Xniff for more info) have troubles running in Vista because Xniff isn't entirly compatible with Vista. Both Convo Notifier and Typing Notifier are such scripts. And the IPGet script uses XP specific stuff. All this can't be made 'working' with anything unless they are totally reprogrammed.

Hi Cookie, [Image: cookie.gif]
Thanks for clearing stuff up for me, but if I remember correctly, Bill Gates have said that Vista is pretty much made with ease for program developpers, no? :S
