Has anyone gotten this work under Vista 64? It won't launch in any compatibility mode.
With compatibility mode off, it starts but then quickly errors out.
Everything I've Googled now leads me to believe that this is a Vista 32 only game.
Yes, I am using the GoG version which is fully patched to Vista compatibility.
I've seen others get the game running in Vista but it seems like only the 32 bit version.

Not sure if this will help but here is an official Vista patch from Code Masters Vista Patch
I am running it on XP so I have had no issues.
Maybe if all else fails you could run a dual boot system and both operating systems on board.

You are correct this game will not run on Vista 64bit. You can either setup a dual boot system like faithful mentioned or you could try running Virtual PC with vista 32bit assuming your computer is very high end.

Well, this game runs on Vista64. If anyone got problems with that game, please send report to Support Team, providing all information about your computer (like dxdiag) and other that might be helpful.

I sent in a support request with a DXDiag file.
It runs great on my old P4 with 32 bit Vista and a 9800Pro, but it will not run on my Vista 64 machine.

I just tried running this on my Vista 64-bit laptop, and had the exact same problem. It goes to the intro screen, but after that it's just a black screen.
I know it's not my laptop. While it may not be the best system for graphics, the game should at least load or give me the ability to select a new game before I realized that the graphics may be at fault.
Help!

VrikkGWJ: Please send us a message via the Support section and make sure to include a DXDiag file. We'll see what we can do.
We tested the game and it runs on Vista 64, as far as I understand it works on the OP's PC now as well, plus it works on my personal PC with Vista 64. :)

Does anyone have any possible solutions? I still can't get the game running, and I've tried using the default settings in 3D Analyze, plus made sure I had the most up-to-date graphics drivers.

Pvt_charles542, please contact Support and attach a DXDiag file. We've narrowed the most likely cause to the sound card model and would like to know if you use the same one.

Running it on Vista 64 without any problems here. Guess it's just luck of the draw.
