i just bought a game and it aparently wont work on vista. other games when
you look at there specifications dont day vista supported because it simply
wasnt created when the game came out. i was thinking this would be the case
for this game but it isnt. is there anyway to somehow override the install so
it doesnt give me an error message saying O.S. not supported?

Click to expand...

Knowing what game it is would help. But it sounds like it could be resolved
by using compatibility mode (right-click the games shortcut and go to
properties -> compatibility and put it in XP mode).

If it's the installation routine that says OS not supported, leave the disk
in the drive and try right clicking on the setup file go to properties and
select compatibility mode XP SP2.
