SBCL on Vista crashes. Do you know how to make it work?

Question

I've searched a lot for an answer for this question in the web: they say it's true, SBCL doesn't work under Vista. But I really need to work with lisp on my home Vista laptop and VM doesn't help really... And CL is not so interesting because of speed...

If you have any recommendation, please share!
