Most likely not a Vista issue but a video card one. See this topic viewtopic.php?f=52&t=8964 and more in particular, this section:

 

Bottom line of radio history area will not appear

 

Apparently this issue happens quite frequently with Intel graphics hardware, especially on laptops. It may occur with other types of video cards as well. The solution that has worked for every known case has been to turn your "hardware acceleration" setting down in the video driver settings. You should not have to turn it all the way down, perhaps just halfway. Experiment to see what works.

 

Missing borders and data in button bar and/or radio history

 

This is the same problem as the one above where the bottom line of the radio history area does not appear until a new message comes in.

Vista doesn't allow you to alter Hardware acceleration settings.

 

Feel free to check out a post I made in the VRC forums to fix this issue : http://www.metacraft.com/VRC/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2225

 

Note : This fixes some problems, but brings other problems like random characters in front of VOR names.

 

Cheers!

Rahul
