Hi,

I am terribly sorry about this. Engine of that game is rather old (Nibiru engine) but should work on Vista machines- we have tested it on several machines with that system (on DirectX9 as X10 was not available back then on Christmass 2007 when game was finished). Therefore problem could be with DirectX compatibility, which could be fixed by some patch theoretically (try to write to your local distributor, they should contact Future Games who are authors of the engine and publishers of the game) or with your graphic card- generaly engine doesn´t behave well on laptops with mobile graphic cards (when I pointed this out back then, I was told something about how laptops are not market for our games which sounded odd to me, but there were not much of we could do about that unfortunatelly).
