File's metadata in Windows Vista/Photoshop CS2

I've just got a great new laptop...The only problem is that it works with Windows Vista.
I've never had any problems when using XP and I kind of know how to use photoshop.
My DSLR camera's software doesn't work with vista(It's a known fact)so I decided to use windows own window to download my pics into my laptop.
That's what happens if I work in CS2 and try to save a JPEG that was shoot in Adobe 1998(it's all fine with Raw ans sRGB files):
Error message in Adobe Photoshop after you modify a file's metadata in Windows Vista: "The embedded ICC profile cannot be used because the ICC profile description is invalid".This problem occurs because Windows Vista writes back incorrect RGB information to the file when you change its metadata.Now...It seems that there's nothing I can do about it...Just wondering ...Would it make a difference if I used a card reader to transfer my files?
Thanks.

Re: File's metadata in Windows Vista/Photoshop CS2

If I remember correctly Vista has/had problems with messing up metadata. I
am not sure if this was ever fixed. I have only heard of the problem, never
heard of a fix. I would suggest that A) Make sure Vista has all of the
updates installed. B) If that doesn't fix the problem use something else to
mess with the metadata. Fixed or not I will NOT use Vista to edit the
metadata for any file, music, photo or video. If Microsoft couldn't be
bothered to get this right out of the gate they don't get a second chance
with something this important.

There are a number of good free metadata editors. Take a look for PhotoMe a
very nice and very powerful program that is free and it shows more metadata
than anything I have seen. Another option is to use Bridge which comes with
Photoshop.
