    Welcome to the .Org littlecube141
    S:TW has no problems with Vista itself, it's only with the graphics card. The workarounds for S:TW often required Windows XP, which has, in the past, resulted in a lack of resolvability of the scenario.

    Recently though, it has been found that setting S:TW to run with software rather than hardware graphics rendering can fix most issues with the program. Graphics are a little choppy though, and the framerate is often fairly slow.

    If you don't wish to play with software rendering, and you have a Nvidia Geforce 7 graphics card or below, then you can use the 2x AA fix as documented here by LeftEyeNine. Although the instructions were intended for M:TW, the hardware graphical engines are nearly identical.

    4- Under General Driver Settings there should be a box telling the name of the settings and their values, such as "Antialiasing - Application Controlled", "Anisotropic Filtering - Application Controlled" and so on. Now you should left click where it says Antialiasing. You should see that there is a checkbox saying "Application Controlled" ticked. Remove the tick, so that now the slider is controllable. Draw the slider right for once, it should be now under 2x. Click Apply, then OK, another OK to close this window with modified settings. Voila!
    If you cannot find the options to follow these instructions, then you may need to download Nvidia drivers for your card from here.

    Hope this is useful
