ok.. you sure it's because of w. vista?
I got a laptop about... 2 months ago with Windows Vista Premium.
[lol It says on the sticker on my laptop...]
and I havent had any problems...
Since then I have downloaded The latest macromedia flash, Windows Explorer 7, WMP 10, and Java 6...
many computers don't come with up-to-date software...
... or.. maybe you don't meet the system requirements?
Btw: what's the big fuss avout vista anyways...
The other day I went to a Staples (office supplies store) and they were selling the W. Vista software like lemonade in the desert....
