well, nothing to do with vista (As I have it and know)

how did you share it with your friend ? I know some users who had errors with stuff like burning to disk or even usb sticks

normally something like e-mail cause then you know its not going to go corrupt.

Check that your friend has also extracted it right. If he still has errors tell him to run under XP SP2 Compatibility

i have already e-mailed it, befor even putting it on a stick
then it came up with the error, so i tought it was not the right way to do it, so i putted it on a stick, but it came up with thesame error again

he extracted it perfect (cuz i did it, and i did it on another pc at my home exactly thesame way and it worked) so i don't think that is the problem

Yea, I turned all that poop off as soon as I got vista, Its just to make the pc child proof so little 5 yr olds who dont know much on what they are doing on the pc cant download viruses and stuff like that
