Catherine, I, too, tried downloading and installing stationery from Cloudeight, only to find it wasn't in the directory and therefore wouldn't work. After doing some investigation, the default installation directory for the stationery isn't the place you want to install the stationery. I think this is a problem on Cloudeight's part and not on the part of Vista users. While the routine is the same for Outlook Express, as they say, the directory to install to isn't.
Try composing a message with stationery and follow the directory back to where the pre-installed stationery is and you'll find the directory you need to install to.
Good luck.
