Vista does this weird thing where it redirects anything written to the "program files" directory into a folder in the "virtual store". This folder can then change an make you lose everything. That's why I asked about vista, I don't know how this could happen in XP.
MtnDew:
Sounds odd.
Have you tried turning off UAC.
Sometimes that helps.
When its on, vista will prevent some programs from accessing files without letting you know.
Also, make sure you have the latest build of SP2 installed.

Cat seeker:
I was clicking on the shortcut on the desktop. ...Didn't think that mattered. I'll try the other one later. Please stop posting random stuff about vista people, its not helping my problem.
Badspot:
It is possible that you have installed Blockland to more than one place and the shortcut does not lead to the folder you think it does.
