    Default Vista only games

    Are all the new PC games playable only on Windows Vista?
    I just got C&C: Tiberium Wars, but it won't load on XP because it requires Vista...

    Is there any way around this, or do I have to bite the bullet and upgrade?

    Vista makes me regret ever switching back from Macintosh to PC. I have learned my lesson...

    So will I regret getting my new laptop with Vista pre-installed? I would have chosen XP but unfortunately this was not an option.

    Yeah my laptop came like this too. I guess it's not that bad, I just don't like the sloppy feel MS programs.

    hmmm...must be something else then. But the system requirements does say Vista is required.

    I have a new computer with 256mb vid card, 2gb ram etc...maybe it's my shoddy built-in sound card...

    This really wont help your situation, but iv played C&C3 on: 2 custom built computers, a Dell Desktop, and an IBM laptop. All were running XP.

    If anything, update all your drivers. ALL your drivers.
