Welcome to the forums.

What's your host operating system? Is it Vista Ultimate SP1 x86 or is it Windows 7 Beta x86?

I have it running fine on a Dell XPS 720 with Vista Ultimate SP1 x64 with an Intel Q6600, and 8GB of RAM. No issues.

I tried it on both. First vista ultimate sp1 32bit. Then I upgraded to windows 7 beta. Had same problems with both.

Have you tried shift+right click and trying to run it as an administrator for the first run?
