Hi Samuel3.

I know that Comodo works on Vista. You might want to use it and test it out and see if you like it or not. Again, it is a personal preference.

It can be downloaded from here.

Also Outpost Firewall PRO also works on Vista. You can download it from here

Those are some of the firewall I suggest you try out.

Also you said

I thought it works on Vista machines. In this link it says:

System Requirements:

Vista (32-bit): ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 7.1, ZoneAlarm Antivirus 7.1, and ZoneAlarm 7.1

Try some of the firewalls I mentioned above as see which on you like ;)

I use ZoneAlarm on Vista Home Premium, and have had no problems. Perhaps it's conflicting with some other software.

Why doesn't it work? Is there any error messages during installation or something?
What security programs do you have installed currently?
