This is a new Vista installation that has never been touched by Darwinia before. What I've done is install from the CD, patch to 1.5 straight away and THEN run the game.
Anyway, the Games Explorer is a relatively minor point... Thanks for your reply!

Question One: New Levels I remember reading that there'll be a few new levels in Darwinia Vista patch. I finished the game in January, way before the patch, but due to some glitch the Biosphere level was reset (and all those magnificient battles that I fought therefore never happened.
