Did anyone figure out what hangs SPWWII and SPMBT up when run on a Vista box? It looks like a mixed bag. I just bought a new computer, which was preloaded with Vista, but I can't get either game to play. I've tried both windowed and full screen, and I installed the latest video driver--I have an NVIDIA GeForce 880 GT.
Never mind. I found out what the problem was. You can't play the intro. The DirectMovie intro hangs up the machine. the game started just fine in window mode. I can play it in full-screen mode, too, but the graphics are screwed up so it looks awful.
