Problems with Word2000 and Vista

Hi all,
since i installled Vista I started to have problems running Word2000 from
VBA Access.
In any case I noted a difference between Winword2000 and other Office
programs:
on the normal launch Word shows a window for 'user account control', Cancel,
Allow (or something like that, mine is not in english).
Running Excel, powerpoint and other, not.

I need to run Word2000 from a vba macro in Access2000: no problem with XP or
Win2000.
If i call a 'new Word.Application' or 'Shell("c:\...\winword.exe')' i have
the error:
Function call or argument not valid
or
Automation Error
To execute the requested operation is needed a higher rights.

If i change for 'calc' or 'notepad' there are no problems.

If I put Word in other folder (ex. c:\tmp\winword.exe) Shell() is able to
run it but hen i need to get the variable to control the program:
if I call GetObject(,"Word.Application") I get l'error 13.

What happens ???
How can i solve?
Any idea?

Perhaps someone set it's compatability options to Always Run As An
Administrator on winword.exe's compatability tab on its property sheet.

When using automation winword is started with the following command line
winword /a
which starts word without addins or customisations.

Thanks,
i run them but without success.

I noted that, even if they return error, both CreateObject() and new
Word.Application run an invisibile Word instance !!
I see them between the processes !
But CreateObject() returns error13, new returns error 430.

???
