Hi. I am successfully now running Draconis Entertainment games under Vista and the cool thing is I don't have to run them as an admin. Basically I had to install them into my own user directory, but that was not too bad. In the folder path c:\users\Raul I created a new folder called Local Programs and In installed them into that. As long as I have the DirectX8 dll files, things work nicely and game play is nice. I submitted a score on PBX pinball table yesterday but I did not check the score server to see if I made it on the list.
