I have Dscaler and Vlc, but neither work, my capture card is called a Vixs PureTV capture

I get this everytime i use it

Never used it, couldn't tell you! Is it vista compatible? I had problems with my capture card due to vista, ended up scrapping it.
These things are heavy on accessing certain system files as part of the media api. Usually from version to version (98 to Xp, Xp to Vista), these versions almost always need some kind of change. I'd look for an updated application, or at the least, an alternative 3rd party generic app that is compatible with multiple devices.

These apps are just plain nasty. Often times they work in the most convoluted ways, and I'd bet that if you used the installer that came on the CD in the box, it is NOT Vista compatible. Your other alternative would be to dual boot Xp, or get a new card.
This card came with my computer, am i going to have to buy an ATI one?

Did the computer come with Vista? Search online for an update to the software/drivers first. If that fails, look for a 3rd party solution, there's a good chance the hardware is supported, just that the software is failing. If both of those methods fail, then yes, you probably will need to look into another card.

Who is the manufacturer of the machine then?  You should contact them and have them rectify the situation, since they sent you a product that is obviously not performing as advertised.

While you're at it, try running it in compatibility mode. Run as administrator, and run under "Windows Xp Service Pack 2" compatibility.
