[Wien] Running/starting Wien2K on Windows Vista

[Laurence Marks]

If you have enough disk space, install linux on a second partition. I
think you have almost no chance of getting it to work in Vista. You
will spend far less time learning linux than you will spend fighting
Vista.

N.B., I hope your supervisor only wants you to run very small
calculations -- your computer probably won't do more than that.
