AC
The problem is the saved games and other configuration settings are being
Virtualized because the games are not completely compatible with Vista.
Virtualized means that the files for these settings and saved games are
being placed in the
C:\Users\your username\Appdata\Local\Virtual Store folder.
When you turn UAC off you also disable this software Virtualization. You
also disable the Internet Explorer Protected Mode and most of the
Compatibility for this older software.
It's recommended that you simply leave UAC on.
