Revision as of 21:24, 19 August 2007
This page is here as a list of games that are compatible with Windows Vista.
Feel free to edit this page and update the list as you please.
There is a Starforce update for Vista available for download here
Many games will run better or in fact run when they would not previously run after DirectX 9.0c has been installed on your Vista system. So try to keep your DirectX 9 up to date. To start off you should grab the latest redistributable from the Microsoft website, do not try and use the web updater as it will not work on Windows Vista. The August 2007 redist is available here
