...so here goes a theory....

The Vista users use a different Nvidia driver for their video cards correct. I just went to guru3d and there is a seperate download section for the Vista users. Could it be that the Nvidia driver is at fault here. Or maybe a little of both, 1.5 plus Vista/Nvidia driver.

So if the above is correct then a HotFix is needed. There was a similar circumstance with another title that is rather "long in the tooth" but this manifested itself with strange rendering issues, not the BSOD type stuff. As the newer versions of Nvidia drivers progress they are more apt not to support older titles and cause issues. In this case the developer stepped in and corrected the issue and that was that. Being that SH4 1.5 UBM is a new release this needs to be addressed from their end.

That is if the theory can be proven. For us XP users, we really cannot help aside from supporting the idea that something needs to be looked at and then a solution needs to be come up with......

Thats all.....
