This file seems to be locked by the operating system, try again later

I get this message along the top when I go to end turn.

I'm using vista, what's goin on?

I believe the UAC is monitoring the access to some of the files of the game. Try installing it elsewhere than C:

I have my AGEOD games on C:, but not in "Program Files". Reinstall in C:\AGEOD or something like that. If you are partitioned, go ahead with D:\AGEOD. Vista 'likes' to do wierd things with stuff in "Program Files"

Also, if you're PC is 'single user', UAC does nothing but cause problems. I turned it off.

These two actions have my Vista machine running problem free :)

I installed the game in the 'users' folder using a non-administrator account and I'm still getting the same message.

I've gotten it once before...just did a simple restart and it hasn't happened again.
