One thing worth a try maybe;
I know in previous versions of Windows, e.g XP, 2000, etc. you could run a program as an older version. It 's a combatibilty mode.
Dont know if it can be done in Vista.
In XP you should 'rightclick' on the program (or executable) an choose 'properties'
Choose the tab 'Compatibility'
Here you can set a Windows version.
(I hope it works, but it think it will not, I afraid)
One more thing;
Maybe its the JAVA bit, did you try an update allready?
