I can for sure tell it did not work for me. My HP laptop with Vista was two days old, but collapsed completely and was dead for a long time. I thought everything was over, but one technician took out the battery and started the computer. It turned out that the battery was completely dead. Before I tried Civ it was 100%. Anybody who can tell me why Vista gave this respons?
New info (as of 8-21-07): I bought a Sony Vaio laptop with vista 32 bit. After tons of struggling and reading online forums and FAQs, I finally decided to go to Microsoft's website and give them a piece of my mind. While there, I discovered another way to install games from XP days. You have to let the machine do the work for you instead of trying to be smart and configuring everything manually. Go to Start, Control Panel, Programs, and "Use and older program with this version of Windows." It'll come up with a program compatibility screen and take you through all the steps you can do manually (i.e. set the compatibility mode, run as administrator, etc.). It worked. No clue why, it just did. So do that.
there are ways to get the game to run on Windows Vista. I called take2 support and this was their response. It worked for me and it is easy. Take 2: Please try the following To run the game in Windows NT Compatability mode. - right click on the shortcut for the game
- left click on properties
- click on the Compatability tab
- tick the box called "Run this program in compatability mode for"
- select Windows NT
- click on apply
- click on ok Run the game again

When it comes to operating systems, it is a better approach to install a new system over the old installation instead of uninstalling the old one. In this case it seems Windows Vista is not desired. Find out which operating system shall replace Vista, and install this over Vista.

How do you remove Windows Vista from a new laptop?
The reason being, if you want to remove Windows Vista, you will have to either (a) Re-format the hard drive: which erases EVERYTHING ON THE DISK! or (b) perform a downgrade installation to Windows XP Pro or Windows 2000 Pro. If you reformat the disk you erase everything, including the operating system (which is Vista in this case). Since your computer has no operating system it is no longer able to function (you can still turn it on, but you get a disk boot error). You will need to re-install a different Operating System, or Vista again if you wish to do so, in order to have the computer function properly.
