I agree with you that it is taking too long, Vista improvements/bugfixing is on hold again since FTP updated and that takes everyones prio to get it working again. It takes prio because Vista is as you know not supported yet. In some not too distant future we will make a Vista bug thread and work our way through it to get that long awaited Vista support.

You do not have to make any changes to your router. PO does not need internet access, what it do need is access to the localhost internal network on your computer to communicate with the poker clients. Not the problem in your case.

In 2.38 we added that on Vista computers PO should look in c:\users.... too it does not seem to work for you tho and I am very surprised that it looks in d:\

What you could try is to make a new user on Windows, create an Admin account and name it to something without any special characters in it i.e. '`^ etc. Try to use this new account to start Stars and PO (might have to reinstall them for that user)
