I have read up on this mainly looking for the answer as to why I can't even

I am able to play quite sucessfully on vista, just make sure you disable composition in the short-cut menu and run the game as a administrator and you should be fine, just make sure you have all the latest stuff...drivers, game patch, windows....blah, blah, blah.

Install the CC3 patch.
