Hi everyone! Boyoboy are we having FUN! No huge technical glitches but I did experience the "sticky villager in the upper top screen in the ocean" like Rockmowers'. It reminded me of the few sticky spots in VVII...Anyway, I resolved this by exiting out of my current game(no pausing)and coming right back in and Voila, my villager was back... hands on hip, impatiently tapping his foot and with a "what took you so long?" look on his face! I've got Vista and version 1.00.03. P.S. This game was SO worth the wait...Thank you so very much LDW...
