I usually close it and then run as administrator and it works after that(until reboot). I tried making the shortcut in startup run as administrator, but Vista refuses to run it at startup if it has that option enabled.
It's normal because Vista won't let you autostart programs that requires administratives privileges.
However, there's a way to bypass this behavior but you'll have to be in the administrator group. You'll need to launch Eventghost as a task, and it will work.
If you don't know how to do this, follow this and it will work most of the time (sometimes, EG won't react for an unknown reason, but that's pretty rare). Oh, by the way, it has been tested successfully on Vista Ultimate 64 bits edition.

I've found this instruction
here. They even did a program to do this automatically. However, it doesn't work on my HTPC. By the way, it takes 2 minutes to do this.

I think I am logged in as an administrator (at least I think so, new to Vista). I use Vista Home Premium SP1 and EG 0.3.6.1487.
Any advice?
In Vista, you aren't really the administrator like in XP. They did like in Mac OS X where you can do most of the administrative tasks, but when it comes to modifying the system, you have to confirm what you wanado (no, not like former french ISP ;-)).
In Vista, there's only the Administrator account that have full rights (like root on Linux or Mac OSX). And by default, it's deactivated (like on Ubuntu or Mac OSX). You can activate it or disable UAC (which is really a pain in the a**) but disabling UAC can have nasty side effects.
