| | Stubbs the zombie useless in Vista Is there a way to get this working in Vista ? I asked a question of the makers, "Aspyr" and got a polite "Couldn't give a toss" answer. If this is the reaction of the game makers, is there any hope of ever playing this game on Vista ? |

Stubbs the Zombie uses Starforce for copy protection. Starforce is incompatible with Vista and none of the Starforce games work under Vista. |
