See step 6 at http://salilab.org/modeller/9v7/release.html#windows

Windows Vista has stricter security than older versions of Windows; it 
won't let you write into a directory that you don't own, so it won't let 
Modeller create log files there (or any other output files, such as 
models). Make a new directory, put the files there, use the 'cd' command 
to change into it, and then run 'mod9v7'. Don't run things directly out 
of the Modeller install directory.
