I had the exact same problem with Vista and VS 11+ and I fixed it by updating Direct X. (I have a thread about this out there somewhere...) Just go to "www.microsoft.com/directx" and click on "Get the latest Direct X here". I then followed a link to download the Direct X Redist (the file name is "directx_feb2007_redist.exe") because the system requirements show Vista as being supported. This may not have been necessary, but I felt more comfortable seeing that Vista is supported. I verified in another Microsft forum that installing the Direct X update will not overwrite any of the Direct X files that came with Vista. It just fills in the "stuff" that's missing.
Anyway, it worked for me and I'm a happy VS 11+ and Vista user.
Good luck...
If you are ever in the Warrington area of the UK, drop me a PM. You are owed a couple of beers!
Thanks again,
