Hey,
I got Windows Vista on Windows Marketplace last night, and the only game I have installed is STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl. Whenever I try to fur it I get this:

I know that the game is not 100% compatible, but a lot of my friends got it to work, but all of them say they don't remember what they did. If anyone can give me an idea of where to go from here, that would be great.
Thanks,
Torsten

Bump--
It was working, but when I change my graphics card settings to be on one monitor instead of dual, the game would start, but I wouldn't see anything (I would hear the THQ video, and after a while it would get to the menu music). Then it crashes and tell me to sent the report. I'm going to keep trying, but any help now is greatly appreciated.

Have you installed the latest updates of stalker?

Yes, I have it patched, and I have all my PC drivers up to date as well.

Welp vista right now is notorious for not being compatible with alot of stuff...I'd go to the stalker forums (offical forums) and have a little chat.

I managed to get it running with vista but I would get that bug every hour or so. Thankfully I'm back on XP now and Stalker works a treat.
