    You need to run the game EXE as the admin, and also run it in XP SP2 compatibility mode. You should be able to find those options by right-clicking on the icon and exploring the popup menu.

    If you found a PB EXE, then probably...but I'm not 100% familiar with the thing. There were a few threads a couple of months ago, and I seem to remember those two steps being a working solution.
