Call Toshiba and express his extreme frustration and disappointment with Vista and ask them to send him a copy of XP at no charge. Toshiba undoubtedly represented Vista's capabilities and ease-of-use very favorably when they advertised the machine and their statements did not jibe with reality because of driver conflicts, incompatibility, difficulty of use, etc.
He will undoubtedly not be the first or the last person to have this issue with Vista.
This worked with my father-in-law with Dell. At first he insisted that Dell replace his computer with one that had XP installed. He settled for a free copy of XP; certainly a booby prize but a prize nonetheless.
