No, I think it is something wrong with my computer... I tried downloading ventrilo, (vista is not on the supported OS list but I assume it is forward compatible) and it doesn't work either... same exact problem. This is really frustrating!
-UPDATE-
terragen 2 tech preview (installer was 3.10 mb) did not work either. SAME PROBLEM. I hate vista... so unstable. I have been having all kinds of prblems with it!! iTunes randomly crashes, then says the new update fixes the problem, then the new update won't install, then sometimes firefox won't download things right (I downloaded terragen on multiple browsers, still didn't work) and programs randomly crash. I don't think it is a virus, I've run scans, I just think Vista was too big of a project for those idiots at microsoft to handle.
Sorry, just kinda upset. I really don't like microsoft... (that is why I've got ubuntu on here too) and wouldn't use it if everything wasn't so freaking dependent on it. It might have something to do with my hardware, I know everex is not a mainstream manufacturer.
