We closed this forum 18 June 2010. It has served us well since 2005 as the ALPHA forum did before it from 2002 to 2005. New discussions are ongoing at the new URL http://forum.processing.org. You'll need to sign up and get a new user account. We're sorry about that inconvenience, but we think it's better in the long run. The content on this forum will remain online.

I haven't heard of problems with Vista. I had issues with the 1.0 release (on XP) but they were fixed with 1.0.1 although I recall more recent messages reporting similar problems.

You have the regular (not "expert") version, with a 'java' folder inside, right? You have a pde.jar file in the 'lib' folder?
Not sure if it is necessary, but perhaps you can try and move the Processing folder to a path without space.
