I am running Vista Home Premium (64bit) (OEM) and have a few problems which
would be solved by re-installing the OS. But having read some of these
answers it would seem that I cannot do a repair with the OEM DVD, how then
can I get the required software to carry out this operation?
Does anyone have any Ideas?
Help would be appreciated.

how about a system restore?
 
Thank you for your input, but I have tried system restore and it has not
solved the problem , that is why I would like to do a OS repair.

Vista does not have a repair install option like XP had...
you might be able to perform and "upgrade" and install Vista back over
itself...

but I've never tried that.

I'd definately back up your data if you have not done so already...

If your present OS is hosed to the point that it will not even boot-up...
pull the drive and slave it to another system so that you can do your backup

When booting up pressing F8 will give you a list of repair tool (not alot
know that). These can be useful for fixing many boo boos.
