im a newb when it comes to computers. how can u tell if u have vista 32bit or 64bit? i thought it was my processor which is intel core 2 duo 64 bit so i downloaded the nvidia 64 bit but it said i dont have vista 64 bit.

Click on the Start button, right-click on Computer and choose Properties. It will say 32 or 64-bit Operating System. 64-bit processors are separate to your operating system. Almost all of the newer ones are 64-bit, it just means they have the capability to run a 64-bit OS.Bear in mind the Service pack (SP1) is pre-release and not the final version, it's worth waiting until next year if you're not sure what you're doing.

START>SETTINGS>CONTROL PANEL> SYSTEM>ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS...2. Click on the 'Advanced' tab in the 'Systems Properties' dialog box...3. Under 'Performance' click on the 'Settings' button...4. Under 'Visual Effects' tab, choose 'Adjust for best performance' option and click 'OK'.5. Click 'OK' to close the 'Systems Properties' dialog box.Wait a while until Windows Vista adjusts your visual settings. After that your PC/Laptop would be much lean and faster than before.Try also setting your Desktop colors to Medium (16-Bit).

This does seem to have fixed my problems , but if running in windowed mode is the cure what would that indicate as the problem with the game? ,
