I want help from you Vista users out there.

After I switching to my new laptop, which is using Vista.
I started to experience two wierd problems with EB.

First one is the console key, below the "Esc" button which no longer works.
Now I saw another topic with this problem, however no solution was brought up.

Now the second issue is that I am having wierd CTD's before battles on the campaign map.
This does not happend all the time.
However when it does, it happends each time I try to fight this battle.
So it's kind of repeatable in this sense, if you understand what I mean.
It's really annoying, since some battles are impossible to fight because of this.

I have all fixes installed, and deleted the map.rwm before starting my campaign.
This might be an issue so I am going to mention it, I am using BI.exe.
However I had no problems with BI.exe previously on my previous computer, so naturally I blame Vista.
Another thing is that my RTW is installed in the "Program Files" folder, I read it might be a problem. But im not totally convinced.

Frankly I have no available save game right now.
But I will post a save game the next time I experience this, and I know it will happend again.
But Bovi I know you aren't using Vista, so not sure if that will help much.

Just to make sure I'm almost 100% this has something to do with Vista, so that's clear. :)
Anyways I just wanted to know if there is anyone else with these problems, and if anyone knows possible solutions.
Any help is appreciated. :)
