[Dx4win] Error message relating to DX4Win

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

Hi Joe and Steve,

If you start DX4WIN (once) as administrator (right-click on the program icon,
then Run as Administrator), Vista will be able to copy the vichwll.sys driver.

After that, the problem should be gone, and you can continue as a normal user.
