I have Vista Ultimate, 64-bit and have played all of Painkiller on it. No problems whatsoever with this game. I'm also about halfway through the painkiller expansion pack ('battle out of hell'); also no problems.

i didnt try the game on vista itself.ive played other games like halo and it works great,but i should have said painkiller online gaming...but thanks.ive heard others talk about the same problem and there is a fix called runfirst,amd said its a hyperthreading problem so who knows lol,i downloaded it and it works great now so ill just see how it goes,again thanks for the help....oh amd also has a optimiser driver for that also for users running duel windows xp.maybe painkiller on 64 bit vista is the tricki would think it should be being a duel core 64 bit and vista 64 bit,sounds logical.[/b]
