3. Set DEP (data execution prevention) OFF for ET.exe
4. DO NOT do vid_restart ingame when running Vista

For some people ET works perfectly in Vista. This guy was asking for help, so I gave him advice on the most common problems with Vista, including the vid_restart thingy. I'm sure the piece of information you decided to share with us is very important but I think it was important to note the vid_restart prob in my message aswell :)
always
it works properly, fps is another thingy..

If these won't help then it's your own fault.
