Take out all your previous installs of the monkey and AwesomeMod. Start over.
Just go back to MTS and read the instructions regarding the Monkey Install Helper. There are two files, one for XP, one for Vista. If you have Vista, duh, use the one for Vista. You don't have to go and fuck up your computer by changing the settings for your UAC, particularly since you don't seem to know how to read and follow instructions very well, if at all. Once you have done this you can install the newest version of AwesomeMod and it should work if you have properly FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS. Don't forget to get the configuration tool as well.
I use Vista, and the game and the mod work fine. As Jordi says, there are risks involved in disabling the UAC, so be aware before you take that step. It certainly isn't necessary to do that to play the game or install the mod. Now go away.
Skadi:
Out of curiosity, what's the big deal about disabling UAC?
Skadi:
I'm just sick of getting UAC issues every time I save a file on my thumb drive. I don't care if the OS get's toasted, I reformat every 6 mths regardless.

Get TweakUAC and set it to the quiet mode. That will make it behave, and no longer annoy you to death just because you're writing to a drive root. It does not sacrifice any security or cause problems.
I'm not sure whether or not I should applaud your patience for the computer-illiterate masses. I think I should, but that goes against my ethos - I'm no programmer by any means, but folder dictation is simplez. Rant over.
Hadn't seen that tool before, may be handy for safeguarding the PC against my parents...

@veezee: As a noob yourself, I suppose that denigrating other's computer skills is your way of attempting to establish your perceived 'superior' computer abilities on this site. But in my opinion a better strategy on your part, which would better serve to establish your credibilty in that regard, would be if you actually provided some useful technical information on occasion.
@Jordi: thank you for responding to my question, and for the useful technical information.
