The game supports XP and 2000 and I can't get the compatability mode to work. Is tehre a patch for Vista or a version that will work on it?

Nooooo! I'm holding off installing it on my new vista-ized PC cos I've got things to do but had planned to lose another week of my life to Civ soon. There must be a patch or something. Have you had a look at www.civfanatics.com? I've temporarily barred myself from there incase its sucks me back in.

Works just fine here on Vista64 and always has.... not had to run it in compatability mode at all. Original DVD version btw, not Steam.

I installed the latest patch. I think it gave me a warning that there were known compatibility issues, but I think it only ever crashed once on me.

I'm running Colin Mcrae 2.0 released 2002. Works perfectly under Vista.

Utter cobblers.

I've been running Vista since the start of the year and its been utterly flawless.

No, you're right, I just love having to spend irreplacable time trying to access esoterica like Start, Run....

Windows key and "R", just the same as it's been since Win2K...

Been running Vista64 here since launch last year and have thus far found it to be stable, efficient and very capable. Yes it's a bit of a bind working out the new places that settings have been moved to, but no more so than 1-3.1-95-98-2000-XP...
