Question time... Vista?

I'm still getting use to this Vista crap... and missing XP at the same time. Anyway, I was wondering if running games as an Administrator was a good or bad thing... or if it didn't matter in the least, thanks.

    That depends on the game. Most games are already written on Windows XP, with the possibility in mind, that the user doesn't have admin priviliges.

    So it isn't advisable to work or play with administrator rights in Vista.

    Only if a game refuses to run even in Windows XP compatibility mode, you should mark the game to be run as Administrator.
