While I have not used Vista, I would presume when you right click on your shortcut and choose properties, there is still a compatability tab. use that to set the compatability mode to either windowsXP or windows98 (98 preferably if available).

Also make sure your power usage mode is set to always on. EQ seems to NOT wake a CPU up into it's higher power state which is what you force on by setting the power scheme to "always on". Once you are done with EQ, you can either change it back or leave it, just know that if you leave it your computer's heat will be higher than it used to since the CPU won't scale down when not in use.
