The suggestion I can make is to describe your situation more completely.

What is the ActiveX Control?
Where does the ActiveX Control live in? Or what type of application you are
doing?
What does "initialize AutoCAD" mean and how do you do it (at least some
code)?

I have the same problem here. It works if you do:

CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application.17.2")
for AutoCAD2009

CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application.17.1")
for AutoCAD2008

But I don't know why that's so.

Cheers, Marco

Don't hold your breath while looking.

The first AutoCAD version built for Vista is 2008. There was some patch
for 2007, but in some message in these groups some Autodesk people gave
the impression that they have no plans of ever producing a compatibility
patch for Vista for 2006.

(You might manage with full admin rights, disabling all Vista security
etc, but that isn't a reasonable production environment.)
