Problem with QB 2006 on Vista

I have loaded QB 2006 Premier (Professional Service) onto a test computer running Vista. Everything I have tested so far works with the exception of invoicing (!). When I try to create an invoice, the application hangs. Funny thing is that this only happens with my actual company file, not the sample files. I have resorted lists, verified data, and rebuilt. I have imported backups and portable company files.

Any ideas? Vista is performing so well on my test machine (a Dell Latitude D620, it is a dream with Office 2007) that I am willing to give it a shot in production if I can get QB working.

All suggestions appreciated.

It's an undocumented feature courtesy of Microsoft. Now that they have a competing product they conventiently broke Quickbooks.

Microsoft bought Great Plains a while back, they want to put the other products out of business.

Just ask Staker Electronics how receptive Microsoft is to competition.

Don't put it in production.

It's beta. Even if Vista works now, there's no reason to believe it'll KEEP working with subsequent patches. Further, there may be undetected bit-rot running rampant -- first a toe falls off, then an ear...

No, best to let the programmers at Microsoft and Intuit find the oddities first.

I would add vista is in major trouble. A researcher has found a way to start malware running on 64 bit systems that runs before the operating system even starts. This will be worse than rootkits.
