I am not running a Vista Box right now but I think is is very similar to Windows 7.
For your specific problem go to your Power Options --> Change Plan Settings --> Change Advanced Power Settings --> Process power management --> System Cooling Policy
Each has 2 options, passive or active. One turns the fan on before throttling the CPU and other slows the CPU before turning on the fan. I don't know which you should be using, but the options are there.
Every other setting can be handled the same way.
