Yes - a user running without elevated credentials can't create objects in the "Global\\" namespace under Vista - which is exactly what win32trace tries to do. This has been fixed in CVS, and I really hope to get a new build out within a couple of weeks. IIRC, a workaround is to start a "reader" process (ie, "python win32traceutil.py") from a command-prompt running elevated (ie, "as Administrator") - a client should then be capable of working without requiring elevated permissions, as the mapping will have been created and permissions adjusted.
