Create a shortcut to the game, in the shortcut properties compatibility tab, check the box that says "Run as Administrator". Let us know if that works. Please note that Vista is not listed as supported OS, anyone running Vista should pay attention to specs with extra care because it does have issues with some software.

I have the same problem - windows Vista - hit play and nothing.

I tried the "run as administrator" but, still nothing

Also try the quick launch shortcut as administrator.

Hmmm.curious.I pointed out a few weeks ago about the "Run as administrator" option because it works perfect for me.The method Erik refers to is a bit differant to the way i run it.When i installed the game it put a shortcut on the desktop.Right click on the shortcut then select the "Run as administrator" option ,this opens the "game "screen.Click on PLAY and the game runs ok (for me).

Oh,BTW i tried Eriks method and that works fine for me too! All i can add now is try changing your resolution.I use 1289X1024 .
