I have Winpoker, version 6.0.5 running with no problems and no issues
on two different Vista machines and one XP machine.
For those that are not aware of this, sometimes it helps with older
(pre-Vista) programs to run them on Vista in the "compatibility mode"
(although I do not have to do this with Winpoker on either of my Vista
machines).
To switch on the compatibility mode, right click on the program icon
in your program files and select the "properties" menu item. There is
a tab called "compatibility" and the first item on that sheet is a
check box where you can tell the system to run the program in
compatibility mode and below that, a drop down window where you can
select the flavor of windows you want the system to emulate when
running the program.
Another switch that might help on that same page is to select to run
the program as an administrator.
Hope that helps!
I added it to my new computer with Vista. It works , but not
properly. The sounds aren't right and there is a lag when running the
program. I haven't tried a re-install yet though.

Like others, I have not had any problem loading into Visata and
running. Wish I could help you, but there is hope.
