NFM has not been tested with Vista, but should work on Vista.
NFM is written in Visual Basic 6.0. Microsoft have published a support statement for VB6. The executive summary states:
The Visual Basic team is committed to “It Just Works” compatibility for Visual Basic 6.0 applications on Windows® Vista™. The Visual Basic team’s goal is that Visual Basic 6.0 applications that run on Windows XP will also run on Windows Vista.

1.0.2 10/09/2007 08:00
Integration of update checking facility and an interface to dcUpdater. New installer (Nullsoft Install System) to address some issues with the Microsoft installer packaged with VB6.
dcUpdater is a free general purpose update checker that can check for updates for multiple programs and help the user download and install them. dcUpdater is not required to install and maintain NFM, but it makes ongoing maintenance more convenient. For more information click on dcUpdater.
Recommendation: It is strongly recommended that all existing versions of NFM be uninstalled before installing this package. Go to Start Menu / Settings / Control Panel and click Add / Remove Software. Remove all of the instances of NFM from the list, do not worry about errors reported on un-installation, they are a by-product of the old Microsoft installer.
