"As a user of both Vista and Ghost 12, I believe this is a Vista permissions issue. To verify this you can turn off UAC, which requires going to the control panel and to UAC, then a re-boot. If this fixes the issue, it has to do with permissions, and not with Ghost 12. I still have issues once in a while with something not being allowed, so I am not an expert at fixing this. However, do a search on the web for unhiding the true administrator in Vista, which will show Administrator on the startup menu. When you get this error, sign on with this account which has ultimate rights. Don't forget to turn UAC back on for full protection."
