yup codec problem becoz Vista uses a NEW system for storing drivers / levels , and all the old drivers are used to upload it to the system core level but in Vista thats a big no no , so thats /, but if you are lucky you can run this game in the win 98 compability mode that uses the old driver system

so... how can we install the drivers to the vista core level?

and btw, is there any way to runl Windows XP drivers into Windows Vista?

my problem is the following: I have a SoundBlaster Live! soundcard and there isn't any released Vista Drivers for it, so, the only possible way to use my soundblaster is through my Windows XP Drivers, the same is happening with my Pinnacle PCTV Analog TVcard.

is there anyway to run Win Xp drivers on Vista and install the drivers into the core level?
