We worked with pcbaldwin off the forum to resolve this problem.
A little background. HistCite is using TCP/IP protocol for internal communication. The traditional protocol to use is IPv4. Windows Vista unconditionally includes the next-generation IPv6 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6). From the user's perspective the main difference between the two protocols is in the addressing, or IP numbers. IPv4 numbers look like 1.2.3.4, while IPv6 may look something like 1:2f::ae::3::4. Apparently, some installations of Vista tend to use IPv6 exclusively.
One workaround to this problem is to replace "localhost" with "127.0.0.1" in the Internet Explorer's address bar. This forces to use IPv4 channel for communication, where HistCite is expecting it.
Future versions of HistCite will include a fix for this issue.
