Alan, I have VISTA and have had no issues running the games as long as you follow the recommendations on the HPS sites. Specifically DO NOT install the games to the Program Group.

Here is the link to HPS VISTA Help page. The main thing to remember is to create a sub-directory on the root of your C:\ drive to install your games into.
