I got me a new machine with Vista Home Premium (32 bits), and supprise, when trying to run some of them older games I get told that the game frown on Vista, even in compatibility mode.

F22 Total Air War: No sound. I got an error message when installing it, but I forgot what it said (DOH!). I'll try to re-install it and take notes.

X:Tension: Wrong OS though XBTF works fine. Trouble is that X:T is kinda cool but XBTF is dull as a bladeless knife.

Caesar 3: Won't install at all no matter what. "Wrong OS".

Falcon 4.0 Allied Force: Really unstable, though it was very stable under XP

Microsoft's Virtual PC 7: Won't install. Not supported?

Saitek X-45 Flight Controller: I found no programming software for Vista machines, and the Vista drivers from Saitek are kind of unstable.

DirectX issues: Few if any cards and drivers today use DX 10 technology. As I understand it, Vista use DX 10 technology (could be wrong). How to "degrade" the version? And is it really necessary?

Morrowind (Tribunal/Bloodmoon) last version (European patch): When trying to exit the ship at the beginning, the game stops responding. I tried various patches, but to no use.

This topic is for problems that occur and solutions. Yes, "Google is your friend" and all that, but if many have the same issues, then a topic lioke this would be better. So, if you have Vista, and are facing a challenge, feel free to post and maybe someone knows the answer (he prayed).
