Won't Burn

I just bought a new laptop with Windows Vista. After creating a project in Vegas Movie Studio it first wouldn't let me prepare it in the default file that the computer picked, but I was able to bypass that by preparing in a different folder. It said something like "you don't have write access." Now when I'm trying to burn the project, I'm being told "you are logged onto the computer without system administrator privileges." But I am the administrator and why would it say that anyway? Is there a setting I can change somewhere? I've never had this problem with my desktop.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Vista protects the system drive - so it defaults to not allowing writing access to many areas of the drive - part of teh seciruty increase. Yes, you are logged as administrator, but programs are not run as administrator unless you explicitelty tell it to do so - again, another security measure.

2 choices.

1) Burn to a different section,

2) Run the program as administrator (right click, "run as adminstrator")

Hey Thanks Kenny!
Right clicking and running as an administrator worked fine. What an easy solution!
Thanks again!
