[PD] vista & win7 support ?

i reported this problem several months ago.
the suggestion back then was to test nightly builds, which did not work at the time.
more recent nightly builds did not solve this problem either.

it appears on some laptops running vista or windows7, but not all.
i have so far not been able to recreate this problem on a machine that did not have the problem.

has anyone else seen this problem? been able to solve it?

i have several pd courses coming up for which i'm expecting the majority of participants to be running windoze - they will be brining in their own machines. 
problem is, once into the courses i will not have the time to troubleshoot this kind of problem and i dread going into this knowing that any machine running vista or windows7 is potentially unstable...

would greatly appreciate help in figuring this out
