Just found out from my wonderful friend Wikipedia, that it doesn't work with Vista. >.< Toldja :] I've had some major problems on Vista too in trying to play some games. I'd recommend emailing the makers of that program you tried installing and asking if they're planning to release a Vista compatible version in the future-- or just looking around if there's a patch that can make it work on Vista. There's apparently something that makes it work, but versions 7+ work so I'm just gonna upgrade.

If you're running on Vista, that OS has a hard time running some basic programs. Frenchie3477 Posted at 1:06 am on April 19, 2008 does the site where you downloaded it have a FAQ or a help section you could refer to? Thats been happening to my internet, I click it, it pretends its loading then stops completely. I'm not 100% sure about what exactly could be the problem but you could go to "task manager" (ctrl+Alt+delete) and try to make sure the computer isnt trying to do other stuff. if worse comes to worse I guess you could delete the program completely then re-download it.
