Vista - The Simpsons Hit and Run

**Madandfrustrate** · 09-07-2009

Hey, I'm going to get The Simpsons Hit and Run for pc, but I'm unsure if it'll work on Windows Vista x64 SP2, so I just wanted to comfirm if I can before I get it. I'm guessing I can run it using the "windows xp sp2" compatibility settings, but I'm not sure. I looked up the issue on google and found that some people had problems with it, and I don't want to waste my time, so any help here?

Thanks.

i own the game but i have never installed it on my version of vista, il try to install it and post my findings here...

Edit:
apparently its not working, installation went flawlessly, but when the game starts, it just gets stuck at the splash screen like this:

this is with xp service pack 2 compatability and running as an administrator

Ah, ok. Thanks. I wanted to play the game though, looked pretty fun.
