Does tis sound right??

you are correct in that 2006 doesn't have vista support (there way be away to force it through, but problems might arise and its risky imo).

Best solution is to up the autocad.
Autocad and Autocad LT 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2010 all support Vista (or at least some versions of vista). My advise, get a copy of 2008

You can download autocad 2009 from the autodesk website for free if you register in the student community. You just need a college email and you can download all there software.
