Also check to see if you are running the 64bit Vista vs the 32bit Vista... XP is a native 32bit OS but they did release a 64bit that crashed and burned terribly. If the game is for the native 32bit XP and you are running Vista 32bit then you should have no issues installing (unless you don't have administrative rights to have full OS access to install and change options) If you are running the 64bit Vista OS then you need to find a fix, update or patch from the software manufacturer of the game.
