So far I've not had any problems running World of Warcraft save 1. Lately
I just realized that MODS written for WoW (Damage Meters, Threat Meters,
Auctioneer) do not get their data saved on exit. Everytime I start the
game all the mods are from a few weeks ago, ironically when I started
running WoW on Vista.

I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this, and if this culd be a
write permissions problem on Vista that didn't occur on XP?

Quite possibly. Admin accounts on Vista run applications as 'limited' and
prompt you when the application needs admin rights. This is called UAC,
it sounds like the mods are writing to a location outside of your user
directory and the prompt is failing to appear.

You can disable this by clicking Start typing msconfig and pressing enter.
This will open System Configuration clicking on the Tools tab will show a
list of items, one will be Disable UAC, run that. Reboot the system and
see if they can save their data after that.

With this disabled an admin account will allow all applications admin
rights by default.
