Hi,
I haveto dual boot my system at the moment, same system running xp sp3 runs CoV perfectly but on vista 64 sp1 multiple issues
Firstly my spec
DFI DK Lanparty X38 mb
Intel Q6600 2.4ghz (overclocked on water to 3.8ghz) completely stable and running at 28c (i've turned off all overclocking still same problem)
Nvidia 260 GTX (latest non beta drivers)
Asus Xonar DX sound card (latest drivers)
Vista home premium (fully updated)

Problems come in two varieties

First being a freeze and drop to desktop, no error message this can happen in missions, in cap diablo basically anywhere.

Second is a lesser problem a couple of times the whole screen goes grey i can still move etc but not much fun lol

Am I stuck using xp (I love vista and every other game I own functions perfectly on there).

in a word, no.

There's no inherent incompatibility between CoX and Vista 64. I'm running a Vista64 system with no problems whatsoever. The only advice I can give is to experiment with the Nvidia drivers. I'm still running quite an old set as the most up to date ones still don't run CoX as well (they're stable but for some reason won't run at the max framerate).

Keep on experimenting is the best advice I can offer.

Ever wondered how our costumes stay so clean and shiny given everything we put them through?

Then you need to try out Spandex Crisis (Arc ID 32943)
