It sounds like you forgot to run it as an administrator, Vista doesn't allow standalone programs to enter in disk and open or modify files without having administration permissions.
Right click on the shortcut or executable and press Run as Administrator.
About going to the main screen, that's caused by (like FlowerofSpeech says) triggers that aren't compatible with the version 1.24 of WE.
it is, im gonna re-try in admin mode
EDIT: This is a complete failure... -_- i have my map, i click test... it goes to wc3 start up screen (like that makes any friggin sense) so i go and find my map, and it wont start
EDIT: Wonderful...now my map got an error, and it got placed in a random ass folder called Warcraft3maps.w3xtemp, and i cant open it up cuz it dissapeared
Forgot to add:
Disable "Reinventing the Craft".
