| | I know for sure Knight's Of The Old Republic 1 & 2, Myst 4, URU all work fine on Vista I think one (can't remember which) needs to be run in XP sp2 compat. mode and I would be very hopeful UFO would run too albeit with compat. mode turned on for it. I play and test for installs for other peoples machines very many games and there are really very few that don't work under Vista, Vista's compatibilty mode is second to none and most games that don't appear to want to run under Vista soon run fine with compatibility set for it.

| | Anybody having Problems with GHost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2? I Do. Based on the game box cover, all the specs meet basic criteria. Based on website diagnostic, all specs meet requirement, but when I Install the Game, it Says graphic driver version did not meet requirement and that it has to be 6683 or higher. I have talked to a couple of support techs, one advices uninstall driver and reinstall, which i did, still the same problem and the other one blames it on Vista. Anyway, end of the day I am stuck with the same problem with no hint of a solution. Any input Vista gamers out there would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Vista Home premium AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core processor 5000+ 2.60 Ghz Ram 1022 Mb 32-Bit operating System Radeon X1300/x1550 Series |

| Non-Vista native games I've tested:
Age of Empires II & Conquerors
Area 51 (Requires a DOS command prompt to bypass Vista's security which terminates the regular install, followed by the patch to remove starforce)

Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate II
Battlefield 2
Battlezone
Bet on Soldier (Requires Vista Starforce patch)
Beyond Good & Evil
Black & White & Creature Isle

Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 & Yuri's Revenge (regular game had some bugs where it would get stuck trying to check if the disc was in the drive while installing and starting up, I ejected the disc and put it back in and it fixed itself. Yuri's Revenge does not have this problem.)
Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun
Condemned Criminal Origins
Descent 3
Deus Ex
Deus Ex Invisible War

| So far for the most part, it seems that Microsoft has really gotten their act together I finally just recently replaced XP Pro with Vista Ultimate, happily I might add too  Most stable and entertaining OS yet. Though It's sad I can't play Rayman 2 on it for now
