tried contacting manufacturer, and, as per usual, said it wasn't
related to them. try your OS. hmm, pass the buck time I see. so, vista
saves copies of games... and the game manufacturer (microsoft) for once
tuns a blind eye? only for vista I suppose.

That's generally how tech support works these days. Try the games online
support forum or google. Worst case post to an appropriate group on here
such as vista.games

You have yet to mention the game, check for a patch or upgrade for Vista
compatibility.
