Can't install fonts
None of the fonts that I have will install in my Vista Home Premium machine. I have TT, Open Type, and Adobe fonts, and everytime I try to install any of the 3 types, I get a message saying it 'is not a valid font file and cannot be installed.'
Does Vista really require different font types than what XP could use? |

GABC___.PFM -- one of many bought from Adobe ACaslonPro-Regular.OTF -- an open-type font bought from Adobe BDDAVINC.TTF -- true-type font, not sure where I bought it |

Seems like lots of things work better when UAC is turned off. Just a reminder, you may want to change the way the Security Center notifies you too so you don't get nagged about turning UAC off.
