| Have you tried reinstalling the game? Maybe the files got corrupted somehow...
I'm not really sure what to tell you :\ I installed Vista SP1 the other day and Starship Troopers still works perfectly, no compatibility settings required.

| Advanced Tricks For Getting Specific Games To Work - Note: Most users WILL NOT be able to accomplish these workarounds, but I decided to put these solutions here for the few who can.
----------------------------------------------------------
Ok I figured out ways to get certain other games that weren't working before.
The following fix for Riven applies only to the 64bit version of Vista, 32bit "probably" works fine as it still contains support for 16bit applications.
Riven - This is a tricky one, and most users won't be able to pull this off very well, but I thought I might as well list the solution for the few who can.
The trick with Riven is the Installer ONLY is 16bit, the entire rest of the game is 32bit, so if you can get the install files copied onto your harddrive somehow the actual gameplay will work fine. Aside from that all you need to do is run the "Quicktime for Windows(don't worry it's a 32bit installer)" off of the disc, and the rest of the game works fine. The way I did it personally, was I have 2 different computers in my room, I installed Riven on my older computer which runs 32bit XP, then copied the game folder over my LAN to my Vista PC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault-
This game works fine in Vista IF you can get past the installer itself. That's the difficult part.
What happens is when trying to install Pacific Assault, the installer will ask for you to insert the next disc, if you're running the CD version, it will not be able to detect it, so the installer can't complete. As far as I know though, "apparently" the DVD version installs just fine, although I can't confirm this.
I on the other DO have the CD version, so once again I did the same thing that I did with Riven, copied the files from my other computer onto this one, and the game works fine.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Rayman 2: The Great Escape still does not work no matter what I try. Still looking into a possible fix... but there doesn't seem to be any hope as of yet.
