    I tried installing Far Cry onto my X205 and got the "not for this OS" error message. Basically telling me the installer won't run in Vista 64. What's the work around, if any, for this?

    usually running the setup in compatibility mode as eleron suggested works well...

    either way you might check the game developer's fora because that should not be just a lone example of miscoding :D
