Use RadStudio to cripple Vista with a web service

After trying for a couple of days to get a simple web service to run with RadStudio and Vista, I found an interesting problem.

I created a simple server with just one function that returns a fixed string, and a client to call the server. First it crashed in IIS and I tried everything I could there, and after giving up, it also failed when I changed it to a WebAppDebugger server.

My programs were in P:\Clients\KSCS\CRF\Server and P:\Clients\KSCS\CRF\Client

If I run WebAppDebugger, start P:\Clients\KSCS\CRF\Server\server-program, start P:\Clients\KSCS\CRF\Client\client-program, and call the web service function it runs fine.

If however I map K:\ to P:\Clients\KSCS\CRF, start the WebAppDebugger, run K:\Server\server-program, and then K:\Client\client-program. They will run until I call the web service. At that point the client program just sits there, you cant close it, you cant end the task, and if you run the client from RadStudio, you cant close RadStudio either. About half the time I cant even shut down vista. Once its in this locked state, I cant start any other internet related software. I think Vista is trying to "protect" me from running anything out of a shared folder, but it should refuse more gracefully.

If anyone else has some time to kill could they try to verify this.
