    I suspect it's an "activeX" download that is required, you may have something that pops up on a yellow band at the top of your Internet Explorer screen asking you to allow it to install

    Hi,

    iam getting the same message. i also have vista and ie 7.0. it could be either vista or the problem with their website.

    try printing... once you reach the error screen......

    if you click print doctor you reach a screen where you can either request the voucher by post or have a voucher link sent to your email. try these and see if it works.
