Windows vista is so new that once again all the bugs have not been sorted out and some if not most drivers and added software once again will not work. XP was launched and look at all the hassles we had for the first year now it is working properly after a billion updates and service packs.
I am much like "Newtolove" and do my own installations and build my own computers because I know what I have then.
I suggest working with XP again until Bill gets his act together with his new money making windows
Good luck
