Vista game

Anyone got "LOTR: Fellowship of the rings" to run on Vista?

Home Premium. Tried different compatiblity modes, but the screen
blanks at startup and then nothing..

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Vista game

I got the Battle for Middle-earth 2 to run.

I'm thinking you're having issues with the movies that play at start. I'd
suggest going to where you installed the game and look and see if there is a
Movies folder, and if so renaning that to Nomovies and see if that helps.
Also, is there a "safe Mode" or maybe a Conifguration tool you can run,
before starting the game. Sometimes, games want to start in 640x480 mode and
that seems to cause windows to just stop.
