    I dont see why it would change in vista vs xp the program is the same. I have installed WCIII recently for some good ol time gaming, not sure if I can go back to SC tho, esp with SCII on the way.

    Make sure you put a space between the quote after .exe and the -window. I was experiencing the same issue trying to do "C:/whatever.exe"-window and it told me it was invalid, but doing "C:/whatever.exe" -window will open the program in windowed mode.
