Add *all* of the following:

Command and Conquer Generals
Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour (expansion) (includes 1.04 North
American patch)
Need For Speed Underground 2
(all from Electronic Arts)

Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends (Big Huge Games/Microsoft Game Studios)

Only issue is with Zero Hour (original auto-patcher does not work correctly;
downloading and running patch externally does work); however, this issue is
with Zero Hour itself, and is reproducible in XP as well.

Initially game seems to flicker out the cursor, making it exceptionally
difficult to locate, once located even more difficult to place on button.

Once you can locate and select OPTIONS > Turn on Custom Cursor: then all
runs as smooth and clear as before Vista. Well almost, the sound stutters
and gets out of sync from time to time.
