Thanks guys, that fixed it. Once upon a time I had minion set up but I stopped playing for a while and when I came back it seemed to have autodestructed. I shall make an effort to get it going again.
I noticed on a reinstall of Minion it parked itself in a folder in my profile, some application data file folder. It needs to be installed in Program Files or the OS wont let it update addon files. I think there is a 64 Bit Version of Minion (at repair shop right now) if so, Program Files, if not Program Files(x86)
