So, you've got two installations of Uru: one in the C:\ProgramFiles and one in C:\Users. Before when you said you started Uru manually, but the Age wasn't there, did you perhaps start the original one, that's in C:\ProgramFiles and the Start Menu? If so you need to start the other one, in your MyDocuments folder. (You may or may not want to delete the other one so you don't get confused between them.)

My drizzle program has the file path for pots set to where it is on my documents area and not the c drive one, I even deleted the c drive one, but before that I noticed the folder in the My documents one that had a folder "Age Archives" and inside is the age I downloaded and the offline ki. the one on the original C drive doesnt have this so I deleted the c drive one and the path was already set to the my documents one, but its still unable to launch uru.

Right, I'm saying the Launch button may not work in Vista. Try starting it manually using the UruSetup.exe file in the Uru installation folder you've put in MyDocuments.

Yes, in the Restoration Links part. But Drizzle just installs/converts the files. That "Launch Uru" button is just a convenience. Uru can still be started the regular way.

Drizzle jar file no longer opening. Very strange has been working fine. Did the Open With - Java(TM) Platform SE (Java.exe?) as per Vista Troubleshooting. All I get is a quick screen flash from Java, to quick to read it. So I cannot see what Java does not like.
I suspect Goo Tool used with World of Goo, which is a Java program, to have caused the problem, but no idea what or how. Did remove the program but no joy. Guess my fault for getting messy with the World of Goo. No I have lost my wonderful Drizzle.

Hmm... maybe the Goo Tool installed an older version of Java. Try going to Start->Run and type "cmd". Then type "java -version" in the dos box and let me know what it says.

- Check that you don't have a zombie in your task list (such as Drizzle itself)
- Try reinstalling Java
