How much room do you have on your drive. Is your drive partitioned? :-?

Sounds like Vista security issue. I use XP so my comments are 'hear say'.  

Make sure you're logged in as administrator.

Find fsx.exe in your main FSX folder. Right click on fsx.exe and set the security to 'run as administrator'.

Someone running Vista can give you more details if necessary.
