Try a reinstall of the game, if this has no effect, then do a system restore to the day it was working.

Vista Is Your Problem, Before Install go to your Ubi SH4 Folder,Click Compatibility Files,
There Is Your Problem Delete all before Installing Again,Including compatibility Files,
Now Install The Game As Administrator,Plus Your 1.5 Add On Pack Run It Also As Administrator,Your Problem is solved.
To have any Game Running on Vista You Must Run It As Administrator,
This will Solve Compatibility Issues,
Hope this Helps.

Run the Game as Administrator,You should be good to go.
Also Make Sure you have the latest DirectX For Vista.
