    check the totalwar.com forums for a possible vista patch. the modding community for that game is amazing.

    You'll need to jump through a few hoops to get the game going in Vista, specifically there's a few files you must replace otherwise the campaign will flat out refuse to run.

    You also have to deal with the 3d battlefields and their strange difficulty in issuing proper move orders.
