just letting you guys know hd2 and sabre are runng fine with vista
only my vidcard is a bit dark but i succeeded with online play i had a drop but in princip it works.
gamespy is not working but regular  server log on works

How about Deluxe & H&D1? Is it the 32 or 64bit version you tested? Run into any unsupported Hardwaredriver problems?

Deluxe  also works
but i did have a prob wth an enhanced driver of my asus card so al the games are quit dark
i can fix it with a bit of wire and string but it is not ideal yet 
i only tested the 32 bit version

Wow thanks for the information I shall sticky this post.

not working here... installed, patched and nothing happens. Vista just sits and does nothing

Great OS...    - back to XP

On XP 64 you have the compatibility xp (32bit) mode. Maybe you have it at vista too? It might help.

Tried the compatibility mode and it kinda worked... it took over 20 minutes to load up. But... I found the problem. My new laptop has 4 external USB ports, which I use to plug in my mouse.. Well, upon REALLY close inspection, one is a USB/E-sata plug. I was plugging the mouse into that one without realizing it was also an e-sata port. I used another USB port for the mouse and all works perfectly fine now!

  but it works, that's all I care about

i have now vista on a second partition installed and have also a legal hd2ss from ebay uk and it is working fine on  my xpsp2 amd +4400 with raptor hdd 10000rpm \ololo/... just check the link and see what a nice gpc i can play the game on...i changed my sli 7800 gtx for one evga 8800gtx : working like a dream. on my previous vga card i had to use the brightness slider going from zero to full and that would fixit.

Heh ... I have Vista too, but this time, I everything runs really well, but when it comes to making servers ... the hapiness falls ..  I have never managed to create a fine, working public server with Vista :-( ... if anyone has any suggestions what might be the prob, please tell me ... but it?s not firewall causing the problem or any antivirus .. I tried even turning everything off,  didn?t work ..  When I ran a server on my 2nd PC, with XP, everything worked fine ..

what difference to the network properties is there on xp and vista [a real p.i.t.a.]
try put your vista lan ip on router temp. i a DMZ [http://webopedia.com/TERM/D/DMZ.html]
is there a firewall also ON on the router if you are using a router?

my router can not handle ipv6 on vista so i disabled this but i do not think that is causing this.

Well. .. could be the router .. but then it's strange that with the exactly same setting, a server on XP works and on Vista not 

Vista is about control; XP is free. There are things you just can't do on Vista.

Heh, well .. still there are more people verifying that fact .. fuck that 

Well, so perhaps I will someday install XP ..  although Vista style seems better to me ...

You can always install a skin on XP to make it look like Vista...
