Cool

There is a way to do so, though you'll have to deal with the offset menu screens, I'm afraid...

I noticed on another site, that someone had brought up the same problem, but had no problems with an 8-Bit game from the same year.

I play Dune 2000 myself, but as they said, Vista doesn't support 16-bit (which sucks). Therefore, switch Dune 2000 to 8-Bit graphics, and you'll be able to play fine. Again, however, you'll still have offset menus, because the graphics setting doesn't affect those. I'd wager that the menu screens are defaulted to 16-Bit. Gonna see if I can't change that... somehow.

[...] Okay... I can't make it happen... but I had a thought. As I said previously, the game can be played as 8-bit... but if someone could make a patch to boost it to 32-bit, or (if unable to run as 32) make the menus run as 8-bit, then you'd have no problems.
