so what do you do if you ARE running vista and nortons ??

Reinstall Vista and toss Norton for Eset Nod32.

Ok i'll try the res setting, I had already read about the win98/me mode and done that. How do you shut off superfetch and the other vista bkgrnd stuff? What video card would you reccomend and roughly what can I expect to spend? I really appreciate all the help.


Thanks

At the top of the Technical Support Thread there is a sticky about how to set up for vista.  I believe that all the "hows" are in there.

There are a lot of different video cards out there. As a rule of thumb I'd spend at least $100 on one. Less than that and you'll get a card that will work, but my give you trouble when you push it in the game. First find out whether our mother board takes AGP, or PCI express. I'm guessing PCI express because you have vista and the PCI express is the newer technology. Once your sure which "type" of card you need, go to Toms Hareware. They are doing write ups on video cards all the time as well as put up nice charts to compare card to card.

Careful about a new video card.  Many HP computers cannot be upgraded as they pull the physical slots off the motherboard to save them money.  If it can be upgraded, your next concern will be the power supply.  All OEM's use just enough power supply to power the supplied components.  Adding a higher power device can cause a lot of problems.

will installing the game in another folder, rather than the default "Program Files", work better with XP too?
