Game Maker Vista Fix By: Mark Overmars
Game EXE files created with Game Maker 6 do not run under Windows Vista. If you use Vista, use this tool to convert the games to run under your shiny new transparency-drunk OS. This isn't needed for Game Maker 7 games.

Read the Readme.txt file for more information.

Good show.

I don't have Vista, but this should be really useful for many people. Hopefully they'll think to look for it in this section.

Game Maker games should work with Windows 2000.

Games made with GM6 DO work with Windows 2000. I know cuz I have Windows 2000. If it doesn't work, then your computer must be on crack or something...

I've already seen this on 1,000,000 other sites, so it's not as exciting here.

I can't change my GMK files into exes, although I know that it says only 6.0 and 6.1 versions, I have version 7.0. Can't you make it have 7.0 too?

Only problem is when I use this, my computer gets incredibly slow.

Wish I didn't have a Vista in the first place...

Is there a problem with a file named run61? Norton keeps removing it, therefore making it so I cannot convert my games.

Something is. The program says it 'cannot access C:Users\....blah blah blah\GM_Convert_Game/run61.

Try uninstalling Norton. This is one of the most annoying antivirus programs I ever seen.

But the problem is, it looks like run61 was a virus or spyware or malware, it might not unleash damage to the computer as I know it.

This never works. Tried 2 games with it. Gives me "Unexpected error occured when running the game.".

Hm, does this work with Windows 7? I might have to try this out with some Game Maker 6 games someday.

It even works with Windows 10, I've discovered! Just thought I'd let you know that some odd 2 years later.
