I have the same problem with BOINC, which I use for grid computing/medical
research.
Install the program somewhere other than Program Files and it works.
MS calls that security, I call it a joke. (go ahead, Flame away)
Just another reason I only have Vista on only 1 of over 200 machines I
administer.
UAC does nothing but teach users to click through a bunch of un-necessary
prompts until the day arrives that a real threat shows up and you click
through automatically...definately not ready for prime time.
