They recommend cleaning the disc etc,But it's brand new and the first time i've used it,I have a feeling it's because of the Vista,Is there anyway to put XP on your computer but keep Vista?
Yes right click the cd drive , hit explore , find the install.exe or something similar and right click , find compatibility and select xp
