Vista - Failed to change FLEXlm Licensing Server

Hi friends,

I have Vista Home Basic 32bit on my laptop. Currently I am using the Admin account. When I try to install ArcGIS 9.3 in my laptop, it shows some errors. I am struggling to install it. When I try to configure services it shows that "Failed to change FLEXlm License Server.You need to be an Administrator to perform this function". When I perform the server status enquiry it shows that
lmgrd is not running: Cannot connect to license server
The server (lmgrd) has not been started yet, or
the wrong port@host or license file is being used, or the
port or hostname in the license file has been changed.
Server name: INDHUSREE-PC
License path: 27001@INDHUSREE-PC
FLEXlm error: -15,10. System Error: 10061 "WinSock: Connection refused"

Can anyone suggest a solution?

When I checked the System Configuration of my laptop i found only FLEXnet Licensing Services. And it is stopped also. Is it a reason for the problem? I am totally ignorant of this FLEXlm and FLEXnet

faithfully

Is it possible the license manager doesn't work on Vista Basic? Read below:

Windows Vista:
The Microsoft Windows Vista operating system extends the Windows platform with some additional functionality. However, this operating system also poses some challenges for applications running on Vista, as some functionality and behavior from Windows XP has changed. Supported Windows Vista editions are Enterprise, Business, Home Premium, and Ultimate.
