Vista and DVD A doesn't work?

I for the life of me cannot get our new HP with Vista to do anything when I hit the prepare button. It just sits and finally get an error.
Is this a problem that has an immediate fix for Sony?
A work around? Anyone? Help!

DVDA isn't supported on Vista as of yet. You might try the Vista forum for help though - I expect others have run into this and may have solved it.

Hello Rob.
That the program is not responding.
If I click on help or make dvd this is guaranteed. everytime.
DVD Arch pretty usless at this moment and slowing down our work flow.Jumped on vista too soon but it came installed. ; )

I'm not expert in this area, as I don't have Vista, but I've read that many programs will run OK in Administrator mode.

I had the same problem. That's how I solved it. I disconnected the internal DVD-drive and bought an external DVD-drive. It worked (I would have bought an external drive anyway, because the internal one looks a little bit cheap).

If you have two internal drives try to disconnect one or the other and check if DVD-A still freezes.
