    It seems to a compatability issue with Vista.

    Try running as administrator and in compatability mode for XP.

    Right-click on the AoW icon and select "Run as Administrator". It's probably best to try compatibility mode first. Right-click on the icon, select Properties, Compatibility tab, and you'll see what to do.
