Vista CTP 5308 - no Nero Image Drive...
I just found out the hard way that low-level drivers like the Nero driver for the Image Drive feature may not be compatible with Vista at all. Right after I activated the driver, Vista crashed with a BSOD and I wasn’t able to boot back into it, not even in safe mode. I was able to use the Vista installation DVD to boot into the system recovery tools and restore the system from there using the last restore point. I’m sure this may be happening because I’m still on Nero 6… they never managed to explain to me why I should be updating to 7, maybe this is the first good reason.
Update: I can’t find any tool that lets me mount iso images on Vista… Microsoft’s own Virtual CD Control Panel doesn’t work either. Any hints?

Have you tried Virtual Daemon? I haven't tried it on Vista mainly because I stopped using Vista a few months ago. I could never get the S-Video out to work and I like to play video files from my Laptop to my TV.

Nero also claim that Nero 7 IS Vista compatible but ImageDrive doesn't install. I spent a small fortune waiting on hold to first of be lied to then be told that ImageDrive is not compatible. I am now fighting with them to get a refund.
I suggest not to buy Nero as the Roxio Easy Media Creator V9 DOES work on Vista and also allows you to create an ISO image which can be mounted - much more useful than Nero's NRG files.
Hopes this prevents Bero ripping many more people off with their mis-representations.

Try Virtual Clone by Elby, totally free and does the trick nicely.

Virtual Clone Works on Windows Vista only for .nrg DVD Images. With me it did not work on the CD images!! Any clues?
