Vista problem? Or Vegas problem?

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I'm using Vegas 6 and DVDA 3 on Windows Vista Home Premium. Everything in Vegas seems to work fine, and DVDA seemed to be working just fine as well. That is until I went to make the DVD. I clicked on the "Make DVD" button and everything was fine. Then when I went to select the folder for the prepared DVD files to be saved, I got a message saying that I was not logged in as administrator. It would not let me save the files to any folder in any location. The only way that I could find around this problem was to turn off UAC (User Account Control) in Vista. This seemed to solve the problem, but it's kind of a pain to have to do that all the ime. I guess I could just keep it off all the time.

Sorry, I just realized that I should have posted this in the DVDA forum, since it doesn't seem to be a Vegas problem.

You're right in that it isn't a Vegas problem.

But it also isn't really a DVDA problem if I have understood the situation correctly.

It seems that MS haven't thought through the folder access control well in Vista.

UAC is nothing more than an annoyance.
I have it turned OFF and my profile on my computer is set to Administrator with all priviledges.

Down with UAC... or at least find a way for it not to annoy the crap out of users.
