Did Vista have a compatibility mode? I don't remember because when
I got out of the IT profession XP SP3 was the dominant operating system
for desktop workstations. I never messed with Vista the next OS I had
the guts to try was Win 7 which isn't too bad except for these usb to serial
cables and the way Win 7 always wants to download the latest WHQL 
certified drivers that don't always work. So if Vista has compatibility mode
try running Chirp in XP SP3 mode. If not then I don't know what else
you can do.
