Jim- a couple of things spring to mind.
1) Have you checked to see if any installation files for Service Packs are still hanging around? Sometimes they don't delete themselves after installation.

2) Have you got Shadow Copy turned on? It is on by default in Vista and it often takes images of a whole installation structure when you modify a program, plus it images the whole Vista partition when the system is run for the 1st time. Look in Disc Cleanup, then advanced and see if removing all the Restore Points and Shadow Copies gives back the space. Alternatively look in your drive's Properties and see if there is a 'Previous Versions' tab, which is present if Shadow Copy is on.

Might be worth running SequoiaView for a view of used space.
