Mine runs on Vista-64 without a problem.

I assume you've got it patched?

Running as admin?

Sound card and Video card drivers updated?

I'm running SHIV on Vista Ultimate (32-bit) and not having any problems. Could you be alittle more specific as to what kinda of problems you might be having? Maybe include your computer specs for us to better help you out.

Don't install it in the /Program Files/ folder. I haven't and have no probs whatsoever.

Also running fine on Vista 32-bit, but I too have it installed somewhere other then "program files" (mine's in a games directory in my user space).

comp is: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+, 2GB DDR2 RAM
400GB SATA HD, PNY GeForce 8500GT 512MB video card
Vista Home Premium

Ditto here on Vista.... do as the others say, install in the root of the drive and run as admin. Also make sure they are patched AND YOU KEEP UP WITH THE DRIVER UPDATES!!! Especially if you have an NV Graphics card.

I have both SHIII and IV installed in a "SilentHunter" folder on the root of my C and they both run sweet
