Fix my error! Please!

Ok, I'm running Vista on this, so I'm thinking I might need to adjust a security setting.

When I run Hijack This!, it starts, then a window pops up and reads, "For some reason your system denied access to the Host file. Hijack This may NOT be able to fix this."

Is there a setting I can change so that this won't happen? I've noticed similar problems when I try to use online virus scanners.

Here's what my clipboard says:

An unexpected error has occurred at procedure: modMain_CheckOther1Item()
Error #75 - Path/File access error

Please email me at merijn@spywareinfo.com, reporting the following:
* What you were trying to fix when the error occurred, if applicable
* How you can reproduce the error
* A complete HijackThis scan log, if possible

Windows version: Windows NT 6.00.1904
MSIE version: 7.0.6000.16546
HijackThis version: 1.99.1

This message has been copied to your clipboard.
Click OK to continue the rest of the scan.
