Default Still Life 1 for Vista

Alright I have become so frustrated with loading this game on my Vista, but I am determined as ever to get it running. I've read quite a few message boards reguarding this exact matter and it seems like I need a direct walkthrough of some sort. I have just uninstalled the game and am ready to try again. The first error that I get comes up when I install the game (mind you this is not with compaibility settings yet). It will reach 97% and then tell me "The following error occurred on the file ESLNPF\MCKINPUTBLOCKS.DLL'. Access is denied. (0x5)." I am then given the option of abort, retry or ignore. In the previous times I have tried to download, I have chosen ignore and am eventually able to run the game (after I have updated the drivers from starforce) without compatibilty mode running, however, that's when I reach the eternal black screen. I have heard the way to fix this is running it through compatibilty with windows NT or 98, but I always get a message popping up, telling me that it is impossible to run the program in compatibility mode and that I should turn it off. Can someone please help me out with this problem? I really don't want to have to give up! Thanks.

About the only fix that I found for it is a NoCD patched exe with NT4 compatibility mode. Just don't ask here where to find it as it can be associated with illegal copies.

Ha, I just found a post about this and have been trying to work with it. I don't think that I am using it correctly however. Is there a certain location that I need to save the no cd patch to and from there does it need to be opened? Please give me specific locations because I think that I am doing it wrong. Also, do I need to remove the starforce drivers?

You just replace the original exe with the patched one. I am a little uncomfortable going into any more details about it on this board. There should be instructions with it. If not you can ask where you got it from.
