I had the problem at first. Try not clicking ANYTHING. Just start the program and don't touch a thing. Mine would crash if I clicked. Then I didn't touch anything and it loaded ok after the first load and now I can click stuff as it's loading.
Are you sure? I run Vista 64 and have 0 problems with Source. In fact, it runs better on Vista than on XP.If you search steam forums. Its seems ~10% of Vista users have this issue. It is related to directX 9 in 64bit vista. As you said the only solution is to use DirectX 8.1. You loose HDR and stuff but textures still are good. Valve will release a fix eventually.
