This sounds more like the kind of problem you might have if your login user does not have full administrator rights which you should correct so you don't have to "run as" every time. There is also a possibility that if the OS reports you have full admin rights, then your user might be corrupted. There are instructions on the MS site on how to repair a corrupted user.

Note that on Vista, an account that is part of the Administrators group is
NOT the same thing as the built-in account called "Administrator" as far as security is concerned. It still has far less priveleges and you will occasionally get prompted when you try to do certain things. This is true unless you manually disable User Account Control on the machine. This is a change from XP.
So you should set the shortcut to "Run as Administrator" if you are running from an account that is named anything other than "Administrator" if you want the game to have full privileges.
I haven't seen these problems, however, on Vista when running in my normal account at the default level.
