TGEA 1.03 interactive walkthrough always freezes on vista

The actual demo application starts up ok. The interactive walkthrough freezes after only a few seconds. Interestingly, when I start windows task manager, the walkthrough runs for another few seconds, then freezes again. Then when I restart task manager, it will run for a few seconds, then freeze again. And so on.
This is always reproducible.

This is an HP dv6000 series notebook - quite a popular model - this isn't some corner case of the engine not working on some exotic hardware setup.
EDIT: I have the latest drivers and latest windows updates. I have tried with/without aero/administrator/compatibility - lots of combinations, with no joy.

Because notebook manufacturers have the useless tendency of beeing seriously behind and on vista this is a serious issue.

The only other reason I can think of is that your GPU is low on VRAM (or uses TC instead of dedicated VRAM) and you are using more intense shader stuff like Shader 2 water and the like.
