Problem disconnecting from PC

I have Vista, which is probably the cause of all these problems, but this is what's bugging me.

I downloaded the patch for Vista so iLiad is recognized (Companion still doesn't work which annoys me immensely, but there is nothing I can do about it?).

However, when I want to disconnect iLiad from pc the following thing happens. I click "Safely Remove", Vista reports "You can now safely remove..." (iLiad is no longer listed under "Computers" as connected), but the screen on iLiad becomes frozen at "Connected to PC" and I can't go back into iLiad until I shut it down and then start up again.

Has anybody been having the same problem? Do you think that's Vista problem or something else?

The same thing happens to me under Linux, but it is not really a problem.

I think the iLiad jumps to the "Connected to PC" screen whenever the USB is plugged in. I always unmount ("Safely remove") the iLiad and after I get the all-clear I unplug the device.
It's been working great so-far, so I guess it's OK.

When I set "iLiad Settings", page 3, Export via USB to "MMC Card" everything goes wrong while I connect via USB to my WinXP laptop. After 5 minutes of work Software Companion terminated saying it can not copy the very first file in the very first folder on disk C of my laptop, iLiad did not disconnect. Worse yet, iLiad screen desynchronized with horrible horizontal black lines across the whole screen! The lines did disappear after 2 hours, but I was very nervous about killing my new iLiad...
