First thing's first, thanks a lot :D I've tried many other ways of working around vista (Can't exactly remember but there was another thread on problems in general with "moving plugins" on vista being #1) but strangely enough it worked for me this time!
So this is basically how I did it:
1: downloaded Scar and SRL (following this guide essentially but there are plenty of other just as helpful outlines: http://www.villavu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17890)
2: followed kingarabarin's instructions to the point of restarting then checking Scar
3: when I clicked scar it said that it couldn't function because I had deleted the Scar folder from the C:\Program files so I decided to restore the deleted Scar folder from my recycling bin
4: so then here I was just thinking what to do next... after all this I just ran the program as admin one last time then did the checkout from tools>options>SRL and it worked!
I don't know if this is any help but still thanks a lot!
*Note* I had also used another guide to disable user control account (control panel> security> user accounts/family saftey> user accounts> turn user account control on or off> then check out the box that appears in the window and click okay) also I'm running a vista 32bit if that's any help, also sorry for any spelling or grammar errors xD
