Subject: win32ole.AppActivate broken in VISTA?

 I have been trying to use the win32ole module on Vista. However, the
 AppActivate method always fails regardless of whether simple or
 root-relative address are used in the following program. The module
 appears to be working well on all other versions of Windows. Does
 anyone know the fix to this?

 require 'win32ole'
 wsh = WIN32OLE.new('Wscript.Shell')
 if wsh.AppActivate('notepad')
     print 'Success'
 else
     print 'Fail'
 end

 BTW Just typing the word notepad works at the DOS prompt and the
 WIN32OLE does open the OLE object
