I managed to install the game just fine, but when I try to start it, nothing happens, apart from that it shows up in the task manager, with a memory usage of around 10MB. Killing the process just removes it, with no error message. Starting the game again, while there already is one in the task manager, just starts up another with the exact same symptoms.
I've also tried a clean boot, but no difference.
If it helps, my specs are:
Vista Ultimate (32bit)
HD4870 512MB
2GB DDR2 RAM
Athlon 64 X2 6000
EDIT:
Apparently it had nothing to do with the graphic drivers. I'm now using 8.11 with the exact same results.

this game installs fine but when i try to launch blank screen cant even open task manager have to restart using button on pc win 7 64bit amd 7870 thought these old game supposed to work have 5 games with simular launch problems
