Error: "The output char buffer is too small to contain the decoded characters, encoding 'Unicode (UTF-8)' fallback 'System.Text.DecoderReplacementFallback'. Parameter name: chars."
Cause: Trying to dump from an FE-compiled .WAD.
Solution: Get a clean .WAD file off of your retail disc #2.

This is from having a .WAD file that was used with a mod.
FE-compiled .WAD files are "broken" in such a way that FreeRoam cannot dump it.

That's not a Vista issue, but there can be a problem with that.
You can try running FreeRoam on an administrative account, right-clicking it and running it as an administrator, setting folder permissions to allow changes, changing your account status to administrative, or installing the game outside of program files.
There's also a tool found here that can make it easy to get ownership of your files.

More information on that found here.
