Combat Flt Sim 3 & Sound

My CBS won't run on Vista - worked fie on XP but only runs about 1 min on Vista then stops.
Other issue w/ Vista Home Premium is sound quality is far worse than w/ my old XP - same speakers, earphones etc. No equalizer on Vista. What can I do to run CBS and to improve the sound quality?

You're completed the items and more from http://www.microsoft.com/games/combatfs3/support.aspx

Also, given what I see about your machine, do you think your machine is up to running this?

Yes. Went thru all that BS and nothing. Computer is AMD64 Duo w/ 3gbs + so capacity is not the problem. Damn thing starts up OK and works w/ cd in for about 1 to 3 min then stops cold.

Sounds like a nice warranty call.

You can kill it in just a few minutes. Make the call and be firm about it. Ask them to fix it or give the money back.
