This fixed our problems with Vista, hopefully it will work for you. Can this please be made a sticky? (Works with ASG 7.006, untested with other versions)
I hope this helps. Thanks to everyone that assisted in getting this running.

STEP ONE
=======================
In Wordpad, open the following file: c:\Program Files\Astaro\Astaro SSL VPN Client\config\asg.username.opvn (this may show as asg.username)
Then, go to the bottom of the file and add the following three lines exactly as they are below:
#add as per link at http://konstantin.vassilev.name/using-openvpn-on-windows-vista
route-method exe
route-delay 2
STEP TWO
=======================
Next up is to change the Astaro VPN client to always run as an administrator. Go to this location with Windows Explorer:
c:\Program Files\Astaro\Astaro SSL VPN Client\bin\
Highlight the file openvpn-gui.exe and then right-click. Choose properties. Click the "Compatibility" tab and check the checkbox "Run this program as an administrator" and click ok.
STEP THREE
======================
We now need to remove the Astaro VPN Client from startup, otherwise it will be blocked by Windows Vista because of "Administrative Behavior".
- Click START ---> RUN and type msconfig and then click OPEN
- Click the STARTUP Tab and uncheck openvpn-gui
- When you restart your PC again, it will ask if you want to run msconfig again, just check the appropriate checkboxes so it will not do that in the future.
STEP FOUR
=======================
Click START ---> ALL PROGRAMS ---> ASTARO SSL VPN ---> ASTARO VPN Client
Right click the traffic light and choose connect.
After authenticating, you should be able to access network resources
