Many games that played fantastically well on XP won't play at all on Vista, at least not without the proper extensions that not all games have available. You'll have to find the extensions for those games yourself and they may be third party, shareware or freeware, but they could be out there. I was able to load all of my Tomb Raider games onto Vista thanks to Vista extensions made by fan programmers, but for anything you need you'll have to find them individually. Maybe the game manufacturer has made their own available? Good luck.

I didn't have any problems installing Doom3. Have you tried running the setup with run as admin. -- mansrm81 If you think I helped you fix your problem give me some rep :D.

Mine had problems. It would not boot. No window. Nothing. Wouldn't even load. But the extensions available through www.tombraiders.com work marvelously well. They were made just for this.

Here is ATI HD3470 (with Catalyst drivers). I just installed TR3, and TR4 to check. No problems whatsoever. Strange. -- Andrew Rybenkov Opera 9.27.8841 ROCKS on WindowsME, and Vista-32 SP1
