Hello Mattnz,
Firstly, welcome to
CompuForums. I hope that you can visit us and post often in the future - it helps us to grow, and it's only fair that if we help you, you help us.
To be honest, I do not suggest installing and using Vista right now. It's really just a bloatware operating system and offers no real benefits over XP - the features it introduces can already be done on an XP system with free software. With that said, however, there are people who want it - and I suggest not using it until SP1 comes out. When it does, shops will be keen to sell the copies without Vista SP1, meaning plenty of bargains, plus you can then install SP1 after Vista resolving all the issues which will surface in the future, like the one you have told us about above.
If you still want to continue using Vista let us know. But I have not installed it, and nor have any of the admins or moderators here. Again, we suggest using XP until SP1 is released.
