Sorry Should have read the vista question first.   After right clicking on the install program and setting the options to run as administrator  it worked fine...   Now Andrew, how do I get my keybreeze pro working on this new machine?   It is the replacement for my old xp machine... Thanks

I fear Andrew's gone walkabout, jammie.  Sad  And a program with such great potential.

It seems that Kb requires elevation to admin account status, to install and to run.  You can right-click keybreeze.exe and choose Run as Admin to execute/begin the program, but it's definitely an unsafe method.  Security-wise.
You can also, in the shortcut properties, Shortcut tab, Advanced, tick 'Run as Administrator' in a desktop shortcut.  You'll be prompted for the admin password when you invoke it.

The trouble with installing and adding key words is that they're written into the admin-level data store, so when you try to run as a safe user (if you can) that account wouldn't be able to see the admin-level changes you added, anyway.

With vn3.5 Andrew said he was working on a fix to this bad behaviour but there's no evidence that it's been realised. Launchy might have to be the answer..
