Afraid so.
If it's possible, reinstall XP.
If your system came with Vista, I'd go buy XP.
Purchasing software of any kind, always look on the package to see what it's compatible with.
Not a lot are compatible with Vista. If you feel Vista is amazing try another alternative. Download and install Windows 7. The Beta is free until June 1, 2010. Giving you plenty of time to save up for an OS.
Just be warned, what didn't work on Vista may not work on 7.

Have you tried installing them in Compatibility Mode? If not, look in
Vista's Help
& Support for how to try this. If that doesn't work, you can
try installing them as Administrator by right-clicking on the installer
executable and choosing "run as Administrator".
If none of that works, I'm sorry but you'll need to update to a current
version of the program that the mftr. says will work in Vista.

The Windows® Vista Program Compatibility Wizard can allow older programs that were not designed for use with Windows® Vista to run on Windows® Vista.
The Program Compatibility Wizard prompts you to test the program in different modes (environments) and with various settings. For example, if the program was originally designed to run on Windows® XP, set the compatibility mode to Windows® XP and try running the program again. If successful, the program will start in that mode each time. The wizard also allows the use of different settings, such as switching the display to 256 colors and the screen resolution to 640 x 480 pixels.
To run the Program Compatibility Wizard, complete the steps below:
NOTE: If you have questions regarding the Program Compatibility Wizard or Windows® Vista (or both), contact Microsoft®, or go to http://www.microsoft.com for additional information.
NOTE: These display settings are not available options in Windows® Vista. They are only available when running a program in Program Compatibility Mode. The only reason to choose either of these settings is if you are experiencing difficulty installing or running an older application designed to run in Windows® 95, Windows® ME or Windows® 98. If all options remain unchecked, then the current Colors and Screen Resolution settings will not be altered.
By default, Windows® Vista uses visual themes that may change the appearance or behavior of other programs, especially those games or educational programs that include intensive graphics and animation. To prevent the visual themes from affecting these programs, check Disable Visual Themes.
NOTE: If the settings are not correct, click the Back button to return to the previous screen (or screens) and make the necessary changes.
NOTE: After the program is closed, a window with the question "Did the program work correctly?" will appear. The "Yes. Set this program to always use these compatibility settings" will be selected.
NOTE: If the program did not function correctly, click "No, try different compatibility settings" and complete the Wizard. After completing the wizard, try the program again.
