Having only used Spore on Windows 8, it's not the operating system. Is this in general, or only during certain points in the game? If its the latter, you may have encountered one of Spore's numerous bugs.

Also have you done anything to the Spore folders? There's 3, the one in my documents being the one most likely to encounter.

We'd need more detailed explanation of what and when this happens in order to help you.
