    If your gonna reply at least give him an answer aswell.

    On topic: Yes the game runs fine on vista,I've run pretty much every version of PW on it. Though if your PC isn't up to snuff you'll have reduced game quality. I would suggest at the very least to run the game on max during TW with vista:

    2gigs of DDR2
    atleast a Geforce 6800(PW seems to run well with nvidia)
    Dual core atleast 3.2ghz

    Other wise you can run it on max with 1gig of ram etc.

    I did provide an answer. Also, you don't need a dual core CPU to run this game on any version of Vista. Today's secret word is overkill. Can you say overkill kids? My old PC is running PW on max under Vista Ultimate with a single core Athlon 3800+.

    i can run PW pretty well on an Athlon XP 2000+, 1GB ram & an Nvidia 7600 GT ;)

    If you're under Vista, then you must be close to hitting the bottom. :D

    i'm not crazy to install vista on that PC =_=
    it runs winXP of course
    and FYI the only thing i had to turn of are the water effects - same as on my 2Ghz Dualcore laptop with an Nvidia 8600GT and 2GB ram running VistaOS.
    So i am playing it on max details minus the water effects. Not bad for a... 6 year old PC?

    It's all about how well you can manage your resources, i can't stop to repeat that ;)

    Yeah,absolutely true. Got about 3-4 years old comp and i have everything maxed,even water effects. Runs perfectly.AMD Athlon64 3500+ as processor and 1gb of ram with a geforce6600 256mb. Not even a good comp but hell,runs most games.
