Add *all* of the following:

Command and Conquer Generals
Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour (expansion) (includes 1.04 North
American patch)
Need For Speed Underground 2
(all from Electronic Arts)

Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends (Big Huge Games/Microsoft Game Studios)

Only issue is with Zero Hour (original auto-patcher does not work correctly;
downloading and running patch externally does work); however, this issue is
with Zero Hour itself, and is reproducible in XP as well.

System RAM: 512 MB x 2 PNY Optima DDR400 (3-3-3-8/Stock)

Network: Onboard (Intel/PRO1000CT)
Network Driver: Supplied/included with OS
Printer: HP DeskJet 940C (USB)
Printer Driver: Supplied/Included with OS
Operating System: Windows Vista Ultimate Edition RC1 (build 5600/32-bit)

I can't get WoW to work at all. It immediately disconnects me from the log
in server after I type my password and press log in. It worked perfectly
under XP.

Archived from groups: per prev. post (more info?)
Initially game seems to flicker out the cursor, making it exceptionally
difficult to locate, once located even more difficult to place on button.

Once you can locate and select OPTIONS > Turn on Custom Cursor: then all
runs as smooth and clear as before Vista. Well almost, the sound stutters
and gets out of sync from time to time.

The installer on most games crashes or throws errors and locks up, has to do
with program allowance in Vista and IE7.

I got:

John Deere American Farmer
John Deere Construction
Zoo Tycoon 1 and 2
Fish Tycoon
Ultima online AOS/7th/ML
(but UOGATEWAY does toss too many errors to work right for those that play
free shards over OSI) Its all part of testing
DOOM3
Unreal
NFS3 hot persuit
Baldur's Gate 1 and 2

There are several other games I am testing still if I can get them to
install. Oh and if they are pre XP (then forget it too big of a problem to
even get them to install) if they are set for XP you can work around it by
setting the program default to run in XP mood or dos install (but has a large
habbit of crashing when you do this).

Links 2003 works if you play offline. I can't play online at all. When I try
to host a game, my playing partner gets a connection failed error and if I
join his game, I can get in, but the game crashed as soon as he hit the Play
button.
