I dont know wether or not this is because of vista but here goes. My dad is running vista on his laptop and it plays fine on and offline but now and then he gets time outs sometimes very 10 minutes sometimes every 10 seconds, any help guys?

Vista has a HUGE bug (MS call is feature) in the network stack in that when ANY sound is played the available network bandwidth drops. Could be this. BTW, if you are on wireless make sure your signal strength is high enough not to drop connections
I used to have this problem with vista as well. Just make sure that you do ALL of the windows updates. Doing this resolved it for me, anyway!
Make sure that the "feature" autotune is off. In the command prompt: Quote :netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
