According to the following document, FM versions before v8.0 are not 
supported with Vista.:

Also, could your problem be related to the location of your Distiller 
.joboption files? Acrobat 8, puts them in a different location than previous 
Acrobat versions, but FM 7 came out before Acrobat 8. So it still looks in 
the old location. You have to copy the .joboption files to the spot where FM 
7.0 looks. Acrobat 8 puts them in "C:\Documents and Settings\All 
Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings" and "C:\Documents and 
Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings." I forget where 
previous Acrobat versions placed the files. Perhaps someone else will chime 
in.
