I don't work in Work in windows any more; but, I used to use a
multi-processor, table based assembler called TASM. It worked well for my
purposes at the time. Cannot be sure that it works under Vista. The best
that I can tell is that it is shareware and the home page seems to be:

It may be worth your while to try. If it doesn't work directly under
vista, you might still use it inside of DOSbox on Windows:
Alternatively, you could install a small partition with DOS 6.22 or
FreeDOS.
You might try this, running under cygwin on WinDoze. I use cygwin
regularly under XP and it is rock solid. I've not used this compiler,
but it's been around a long time now:
