Hi

Make sure you've turned off Aero, do this by doing the following:

Right click my computer
click properties
click on advanced
Under performance go to settings
Now turn it off.

Thanks to vistafaqs.com for that info

If you haven't already, make sure you reinstall all the Vista utilities from the website above. If this doesn't work then the best thing to do is a full clean install of Vista to iron out XP related probs.

I had the same problem, try changing the colour scheme from aero to vista basic in your desktop appearence settings, it worked for me i can now use viao zone but not media centre.
