You need at least 2.0.0 for Vista support. The easiest way to fix your volume is to allowing windows 2000 or XP to mount it. That will reset the correct flags and Vista will be able to mount it. Alternatively you need to write a tool (or modify ntfsfix.c) to clear the VOLUME_MOUNTED_ON_NT4 bit in the volume flags - where we set the VOLUME_IS_DIRTY flag would be the place to edit ntfsfix.c just add something like thus: flags &= ~ VOLUME_MOUNTED_ON_NT4; after the line: flags = vol->flags | VOLUME_IS_DIRTY; Compile and run and with some luck it should fix your volume...
