Doom 3 & Vista

Hi

Can not run DOOM 3. I get the famous "has stopped working" message everytime I try to run Doom 3. I have Vista Home Premium 64bit, a ATI Radeon HD 4650 graphics cards with the latest drivers. I've tried running the game as the administrator (that did the trick for me with Quake 4). I have not installed the 1.3.1 patch.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Steve1957,
Doom 3 will run OK on Vista, i run it with no issues.
Patch the game to the latest patch, and try a No CD patch. (The game will run without the CD but i found this to work better).
Hope this helps, good luck and post your results

Unless the patch is the answer. Doom 3 will not run under Vista on my machine.
Is there a seeting I am missing or what?

I have just loaded Doom 3 with the 1.3 patch, (not the No CD patch), and it is running fine. I would suggest the patch and go from there.
