Ah, I know what happened on mine now. I didn't install it the same way. I installed it on my XP box at home because I needed it for testing at work but at work they don't allow you to install software (stupid rule) so I just copied the directory I manually run it there on both XP and Vista. What I did on Vista was I run the http service registration portion. I also don't use 80 (since I do .Net development and we have the .Net webservice container running on 80).
