    Uh I hate to throw a spanner in the works here, you sure UAC is the answer?
    Only reason I say, after browsing through these posts notice it's a little different to my experiences.
    Running vista, I have RTW, BI and EB installed without being in a user folder (C:\Games\RTW\ to be precise). I have UAC on , but have never had to give RTW admin priveledges, run in compatibility or anything. What's more I also have XP 64 installed too and EB runs perfectly happily in that just by launching from the direct from the same exe.
    Of course I might just be lucky :)
    Oh and by the way, you're better off going back to XP or at least dual booting, DX10 is an absolute waste of time right now
    Cheers

    I hope this isn't too off topic but imho....
    Vista takes more resources for itself than XP, as far as new features go, they're all pretty specific and can be found elsewhere, done better, and usually for free, and the only real reason to upgrade was DirectX10 being exclusive to Vista. However DX10 has yet to show off anything that cannot be done in DX9.
    Whats more there are the inevitable compatibility and stability problems that come with any new OS (give those a couple of service packs to sort out).
    I use Vista for day to day stuff because its pleasant enough to use when its behaving, and I thought it better to get a OEM version included in the price of my new rig than pay three hundred quid or whatever the silly prices for it are later on. However as I mentioned I also have XP installed for gaming etc so I can live with it.
    Vista is bound to be needed later on as it takes over from XP, but until its sorted and actually necessary I wouldn't bother, depends on your needs I guess though (I'm picky :D).
    Cheers
