Default Can I use these games with VISTA?

Guys,

Thinking of getting these games but not sure if I can use them on Vista?

GTR2
Race07

I played GTR on my Windows 2000 supported PC but now have Vista.

Cheers
Steve

Its a shame my Audio Apps run like a bag of cack and completly and totally unusable in the Turion under Vista 64

The Apps themeselves run great, nice & fast but the playback and recording is so dire I cant even play back one track

No, XP mode makes no difference, as the apps themeselves run perfect and super fast etc

I know its down to the app Im using and the way Micrsosoft have changed the Mutimedia Driver protocols, its not a major biggy as ive managed to work round it now for the time being

Rule of thumb though, Audio recording stick with Win2k or XP#

This is on a laptop so until I get myself an RME Digiface or M-Audio firewire then I will be stuck with the built in Soundmax card

However this is only for playing back so I can do mixes on the laptop without getting the whole audio rig booted up
