It takes about 20 mins to fix and now it runs fine, no crashes. :P

Work: Half-Life 2 & Ep 1 (usually), Company of Heroes, Supreme Commander, UT2004, FEAR (patched), Jade Empire, C&C3, Medieval 2 (some minor issues), Dawn of War, Titan Quest.

Don't work: Defcon (upset), Quake 4 (disappointed), Fable (Surprised), LOTR:BFME2 (Meh). 

There was an excellent article in the May edition of Games for Windows magazine about this.  They printed a chart of many new games and any issues they have with Vista.  Definitely worth a look.

I have vista premium... Having problems running Galactic Civilizations II.  Also having trouble patching certain games like Dawn of War and Civilization IV.  I have found that downloading the patches from a third party source and running it outside of the game is better with Vista than using the in game patching systems. 

 Anyone else getting this problem?

Call of Duty 2 works, steam games, ea sports games( a lil choppy)

I've read people have had a lot of problems with X3: Reunion on Vista.

I really need to pick up Vista for gaming, it looks really coolDouglasBuffone

I'm not upgrading until it's absolutely necessary. If there was a viable alternative to Vista (or if I was able to buy a version of Vista without all the gimmicky crap forced into it) I'd buy it in a second.
