I would like to start this thread for Windows games that do not work on Vista. Simply list the name of the game and a link to the thread which has the solution, if any. This should not necessarily be a thread to solve the problem, but to provide a list of programs with Vista compatibility problems and a link to threads dealing with those problems.

I think this is appropriate given the nature of Vista. This will simply provide a quick resource for game problems related to Vista.

The general rule of thumb has been if the application and/or game runs under XP that it should run under Vista with the reverse being if you had issues running it under XP then you will also have issues under Vista. The big exception to this currently is the 64-bit version of Vista which will run 32-bit applications in a emulated environment which nobody is really certain if performance will be as bad as it was on the RTM version or if it will improve in the final version once driver support is more forthcoming.

That said, here are also some URL's that may be of help listing games that have been confirmed to do and do not work under Vista using the RTM and/or RC2 versions for testing:
