Problem running script using Vista

Hi,
I'm trying to run a script on Vista that's similar to the one
below. For some reason, the script gets stuck in the Loop even though
an "Untitled - Notepad" window exists. The script worked fine in
Windows 2000 and XP. If I remove the loop and increase the sleep time
I can get it to work on Vista but I don't like this workaround. Does
anyone have any better ideas?

Set objFSO=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

titleBar="Untitled - Notepad"

Do Until Success = True
Success = objShell.AppActivate(titleBar,3)
Wscript.Sleep 700
Wscript.Echo "Success=" & Success 'Debug statement
Loop

'Close the Notepad session
objShell.SendKeys "%( C)"


Thanks!!

.
