It may be that the software isn't compatible with either Vista and/or a
64-bit OS.  While it *shouldn't* matter, it often does.  I didn't even want
to think about trying Adobe CS until Adobe said it would work in a 64-bit
environment.  Supposedly it does in CS4.

The ding in this case is that you need to enable and unhide the admin
account for a default install of Vista.

Here's how:

Note that the previously disabled admin account has no password.  Make sure
to assign a password if you are going to leave it enabled.
