Other than having to reset the original settings on my Nvidia card, I've had no difficulty with running either SH3 or SH4 or GWX on Vista. However, depending on their configuration others have had different experiences.

ok, so its a cross your fingers and hope sort of thing. If for some reason SH3 doesn't work, would patching it help or am I going to be totally screwed?

See the dedicated sticky at the top of the page.
Vista 64 has complications with disk protection but it's all discussed there.
