2. Restart the PC

3. Right click on NETWORK -> Properties -> Manage Network Connections -> Right Click on your Network Card -> Properties -> Disable TCP/IPv6 (unclick it) -> OK

4. open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and edit the file hosts (has no extention, open it with notepad) -> REMOVE this line

::1 localhost

-> save it -> close it

5. Restart the PC

6. Install Apache2Triad the normal way

7. After restarting, u got the 2 users on the login screen, login with your account (not the apache2triad account), right click on MyComputer -> Manage -> Services and Applications -> Services -> find the Apache2Triad Service -> right click on it -> Properties -> Log On -> Select This account and type in the box on the right .\username where username YOUR login username on Vista is and on Password and on Confirm Password YOUR Vista Account Passwort is.
