On Vista, normal users do not have write-access to c:\, so you get the Permission Denied error message when trying to use Paradox since it needs to write to some files.

Two Good Options:

  • Change the Net Dir in the BDE Admin to a path the user has access to
    • BDE Admin
    • Configuration
    • Drivers => Native Paradox
    • Change Net Dir
    • Apply
  • Adjust the access rights on the required files on c:\ to allow the user access

and one bad option:

  • Run the program as Administrator
