Default PO, Vista, Internet Explorer crash,pshimp.Dll

I have recently upgraded to a new computer with Vista and am constantly having problems like internet explorer crashing and getting the following windows error message "Windows Host Process Rundll32 has Stopped Working" with this information in the event viewer

"Faulting application rundll32.exe, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549b0e1, faulting module pshimp.Dll, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x4704a8f8, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00008a62, process id 0xdb0, application start time 0x01c86b67c678f121."

Problem seems to be related to the pshimp.Dll found in C:\program files\Poker Office\bin which is apparently needed if you play poker on Poker Stars.

Workarounds seem to be to either use an alternative internet browser or if you dont use Poker Stars to delete or rename the pshimp.Dll.

Question is: When will this bug be permently fixed? Also when can us Vista users expect to enjoy full Vista support from Poker Office?

My subscription for PO is comming up for renewal - pity it such a useful piece of software. I have been looking around for an alternative - no success - would really like to continue using this software - but given all the problems I have been experiencing since getting Vista (e.g. PO shutting down when leaving a table - most annoying when playing multi table tournaments, Player stats not visible when using like tracker and the annoying Internet Explore crashes and Rundll32 issue) - I may just be moving off to one of the rival software applications when it comes time to renew my subscription.

Hope these Vista issues get sorted soon
