OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit



I use vista home premium and Medievil 2: total war runs great on it so dont owrry about wasting your money. also from all the games ive tested they have installed. such as BF2, BF2142, doom 3, EVE Online, COH, etc. seems as though most of the games are compatable, nothing in my collection has had any problems thus far.

Right click on the short cut for the game, select "use administrative rights". See if that helps.
