windows vista comaptible software is few and far between at the moment as lots of companys are either late bringing out vista compatible drivers or there are certain hardware bugs still occuring with vista
this happened with xp when it was first released so dont worry,samsung will bring out a driver,but from my own experience i use the vista comaptibilty wizard and install xp/98 software through that
try this samsung driver wizard from their website(http://www.samsung.com/support/index.asp),look for the mp3 player model number and then enter it in the appropriate box and you should find the driver
good luck mate

its possible that the hardware needs other drivers to run with Xp then Vista, i think you should visit the website of samsung and tomtom to find the newest drivers, or if they don't have them (yet) send them an e-mail about it.
