I have been reading about all the problems with Vista with some concern. When IBought my computer last year it came with X p. I had a crash and had to format and reload. Gateway sent me Vista Home Premium free. Deceided to try it. Only game that had a problem was SH 4. I tried a lot of the good ideas and failed to resolve the problems until today, my third day of working on it. I loaded into the program files which is default. SH 4 did't load an icon. I went into my program files and found the exe file. I right clicked and told it to run as adminstrator, then to desk top. I loaded the update with no trouble and it ran fine. I loaded jsgme and again did a right click and told it to run as adminstrator.I found the game to run fine. I took the three tru mods and had rar open them in my documents and copied and pasted them. It didn't seem to work extracting into the Mod folder. Copy and paste worked. Ran jsgme and applied the mods. The game worked fine. Ran pungo pete long enough to save the game. I now can click on my Sh4 icon and run the game without the disk. I am not a computer wizard but an old navyvet that got forced to go with Vista and was't going to let beat me.{I almost gave up and put XP back on} I kind of like it now. I hope this helps any other sailors out there hating Vista.
