Well I have good news and bad news, well the video works and the games plays
rock solid. Bad no sound... Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Brad

I've installed it and got sound from the original retail version. Patching
it breaks the sound. Not had any luck with a solution yet.

Thanks for the responce Paul,

I guess they tested the game in it's base state and said it works. I wonder
how many other games are going to fall though the cracks like this.

Well when the game detected automaticly from the Games Menu I mad an
assumption that Microsoft had at least tested it otherwise it wouldn't have
shown up in the Games Area.

The Problem has to do more with blizzards latest patch for the game than it
does with vista. you got to remember that this is still a beta product so I
am sure many things that need work.

same thing happens with Diablo 2. Sound works pre-patch, doesn't work after
the latest update.
