    Vista isn't your problem. Are you getting an error unrar'ing them? Let us know some more details...

    Are you running the downloaded files through winrar first? You can't just copy the downloaded files, they have to be unrar'd first.

    Right click on the file and select extract here, this will usually produce a folder (plus other bits). Double click and open the folder, you will then see one or more rar files inside (they are double rar-ed), select the first file (it must be the first), right click it and select extract here, it will then say several files already exist do you want to overwrite them, select the box yes to all. You will then have a file with .nds at the end, rename this file keeping the .nds at the end or it will no work. This is the only file you need, copy this to your card and you can delete the rest.
