(Dell Inspiron 1501, 120GB HDD, 256mb Video, 1GB RAM; Vista Home basic). I install it, no problems, update it, no problems, but it won't run. I know in windows XP there's a compatability option for older programs, does Vista have this as well so I'll be able to run this game? -------------------- "A coward dies a thousand times before his death.

That said, the same compatibility options are available in Vista as in XP in the same place. -------------------- "Anyone who cannot form a community with others, or who does not need to because he is self-sufficient [...] is either a beast or a god."

It just says that the Battelfield stop working. -------------------- "A coward dies a thousand times before his death.
