Found the Solution on Vista:

- Go to Control Panel and Switch to Classic View
- Click on User Accounts
- Click on Turn User Account Control on or off
- Uncheck use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your
computer.
- OK
- Restart System

Try again to attach the DB. It should work now.

Hope this helps anyone else having this problem.
