    SO i run the game...it starts up fine...i can play for like 5 minutes then BANG computer just shuts down cold....i looked at the system requirements and the only thing that doesnt pass is the fact that im running on vista...but the game requires XP. I checked and the game says that it can still run on vista....any help?

    -Try running it on compatibility mode

    -Update your gfx card drivers
