Does this game not work well for Vista with anyone else but me

ME boot discs don't do 48bit LBA.

That will depend on the bios on your MB. You would need a pretty old board for it not to work. Fdisk and Partion to drives of 137GB or less using %'s not bytes (sometimes it shows wrong size but all will be OK) to then format to Fat32 if you want. Windows CD will reformat to NTFS.

Try not to convert to NTFS after OS installed as sector size will be less efficient.

I played with Longhorn and things may be different now, but unless things drastically changed:

Turn Aero off.

Like they tell you, 1gb ram and 128 memory bus can run Aero--but not much else.

Cancel that, because of my 320 gb hard drive split up into three partitions, I tried and failed to install win2000 on partition 2. Well, after installing Vista again, everything works fine now. I had to download newer beta drivers for my sound card and graphics card but everything works fine now.

There you go, if that wasn't a properly slipstreamed disc, you could have really messed up your system. To successfully install on a HD that's over 137 GB, there can only be ONE partition on the drive when you do it, and it must be at the front of the drive, and it must be smaller than 137 GB.
