Quote from the manual
====================
If HostMonitor is started on Windows Vista, Windows 2008 or Windows 7 and target host uses one of these operational systems as well, we recommend using "Windows Vista API" mode. Otherwise you should use "Windows NT API" mode that works fine for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 as well.
====================

In other words: Vista mode cannot work on Windows 2003 because Windows 2003 does not provide Vista API.
If you need to monitor event logs on Windows Vista+ systems, I would recommend to install Remote Monitoring Agent (RMA) on one of such systems and use agent to perform the tests.

Note: If you want to monitor Application, System, Security event logs, you can check Windows Vista/2008 systems using Windows NT API mode
