Spring RTS Engine

I have absolutely no idea what is wrong here, but when I host or join a game through the client program, when it launches, instead of trying to connect to the game, I am presented with the "springtest" program, where you select script, mod, map, and it loads up to a single player game with no AI (of course, it's springtest).

This has happened consistently for the last several games I've tried to join.

I'm running a laptop with 2 gb ram, on windows vista home edition 32 bit version. Geforce 9600 go videocardd with 512 memory. Video-wise, I have no problems with Spring.

I have tried full reinstall and that doesn't seem to fix the problem. Two days ago I was able to play with no issues.

For those interested, I found out the problem on my own... If you have vista and you set the options on the file to "run compatability mode for windows xp sp2" then it'll load to the springtest every time you try to join or host a game.

Undoing tihs option fixes the problem.
