The game is a little bit older, but still is still one of the best strategy parts. The graphics are a little dusty, but that's not so bad. Best of all, the game plus an add-on also runs under Vista. After installation, it was not with me at once, you just have to download the latest patches for the game, then it should work (as wars with me). If you still should problems occur, the game can be easily run as administrator, then it should ultimately function (just right click on the icon of the game encouragingly desktop, and then "Run as administrator").
