When I look at the install page for BetterPrivacy I don't see any advisory on Vista Home Premium not being compatible. Do you get an error dialog?
When I try to use better privacy I get a popu saying the following
Script:crome://bprivacy/content/bprivacy.js:963
it offers the option of continuing or stopping the operation, continuing just repeats the message.
As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste bpr and pause while the list is filtered
(3) There should be a bolded setting named extensions.bprivacy.DataDir which looks approximately like the following:
C:\Users\yourWindowsUsername\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
Any luck?
