Well, IMO, Vista is crap!

Try a clean uninstall by following:

When plugging the usb to the pb and pc for syncing. Take a look at your network and sharing center, go to your adapter setting, there should be a LAN interface that is disabled. You have to enable that interface so the pc can recoginize the pb. Cuz pb storage doesn't act like usb storage but a network drive.
This is just my point of view dealing with your issue. You can try and see if it works

I've got Vista and it works and has worked though a large number of Desktop Software versions.

Don't chose Repair. Completely UNinstall it. Then try again.

You might want to try a clean download of the software or see if you can find an older version and try that. (I'm not sure rroyy.com might have archive versions)
