Well, lets see... Did you install the latest patch?
http://www.ubi.com/US/Downloads/Info.aspx?dlId=1628 (Read the notes at the
bottom of the page first, you have to install 1.04 patch then the 1.041
patch before you install 1.05)

There's nothing mentioned in the patch notes about Vista, but 1.05 does
address a lot of issues with the game regarding stability, so it might help
you...

See if that helps at all, and I'll see if I can find my copy of the game
tonight. Seems to have grown legs on me and walked.
