Currently, McStas is not officially supported on Windows Vista, however 
Andrei Savici (from ORNL) has reported partial succees in fixing 
the problem you also see. I will forward his experiences to you outside of 
this mailinglist.

Vista has only just arrived at Risoe, and I have not had the possibility 
of testing McStas on this platform yet. I will get a copy of Vista as soon as 
possible and try to have things working for McStas 1.12.


Best regards,

Peter
