The USB driver worls on Vista (32 bit, not 64 bit). An alternative would be to
download the VMWare Workstation beta (which is free) and host a guest OS that
supports the driver in it, then redirect the USB device to the guest. I myself
use Windows Server 2003 32bit as guest on a Vista 64bit host, works great.
