ANNO 1701 running on my laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium with no problems and no crashes. The problem with the green water with Nvidia graphics cards (own a Geforce 7600 Go) is at least for me through the installation of ForceWare 100.30 driver resolved. The generalization that ANNO not run on Vista machines, thus is definitely wrong - like standing on the package, which wants. I currently run it with no problems. Otherwise, I can most other reviews agree: ANNO 1701 is really a great game.
