you will need to either partition your drive or run an emulator like virtual pc.
to run it under xp
right click on the .exe and click properties goto compatibility and click the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and Select XP this only works on some things but helps with most.

I wouldn't think so - but then again, I have an HP computer, and I've had real problems installing the pre-release. I just assumed it was vista being uncooperative as it often is with games.

The brand shouldn't affect it... hopefully  Oh come now Laz, Vista is still more secure than XP  |

Hasn't happened to me, but doesn't surprise me, since although I do agree with Dom about vista being secure ( ), stable it is not! My machine crashes regularly, even though it has 3 Gb of RAM, a quad core processor and a Geforce 8500GT card!!  Often this happens when something graphical occurs which makes it confused. |
