Could be due to Vista. I would try setting it to run in compatibility mode (select XP service pack 2) and then select run as administrator. Might fix it. It has worked for me with other games (though, to be honest I got so annoyed I wiped it and put XP back on)

For the love of God: PLEASE, PLEASE, tell me how to do that because circuit city, the place I bought my computer from told me that it is not possible to relace vista with xp because of the configuration of the new computers. I actually have an xp disk that I just happened to have bought about 3 months ago for completely different reasons. Now I want that OS put on this new, but useless computer.

My PC said "engineered for vista" too. Sure it was. What I would do before you load xp is go online and get all the drivers you would need for your pc based on it having XP. Burn them to a cd. I made sure I had, at a minimum, the drivers to get my network cards working and then downloaded all the other drivers as I needed them (odds are xp may have the stuff already unless you have some very new stuff). What they probably mean is that any driver disks you got with your new computer all have vista drivers for your hardware and nothing for xp (although Dell driver disks tend to have both). All you need to do is go get the xp ones. Then just put in your xp disk and go from there. My pc runs so much better. I was willing to buy it with vista because it was so cheap.

If you have some kind of warranty that could possibly be voided if you remove the Vista o/s you might not want to do this. I doubt it, but hey, stranger things have happened I suppose. Also, as a fall back, make sure you can restore what you have just on the off chance you want to go back to Vista.
