Im wondering how the game runs with vista 32 bit home premium and various graphics cards, like the 1950 pro, anyone have this combo.

You should really ask those types of questions at other sites. People here just troll the game and more then half of them don't even play it.
(pretty much what this site is known for, a bunch of people debating about games they don't even play
)

I dont know about youre card or anything. But what i do know is that i came back.. And i paid for a subscription and started to install the game on my new laptop with vista home premium vista 32. Over half of my subscription is gone. Ive done everything soe asked me to try and do. Now they are trying to blame my hardware and get me to see a local tech.
The game box says, runs with vista. My computer is 2 months old and was the most expensice thing i could lay my hands on at the computer store. It's widescreen and has 2gb ram, core 2 duo, nvidia card and whatever. But it just wont work for me.
Im still gonna make this game work
What i will whine about is that i asked if they would consider to add a few days on my subscription after i get it to work. But noooo they tossed the agreement upon paying on me.
What can i say. . .
Do not beleve that the game will work at all with youre machine even if the box says youre way over spec's and has everything to run it. And dont beleave for a sec that SOE will have ANY!!!! compation for you. Youre on youre own, youre money is there money. If you youreself has the skills to get it to work and are willing to pay to even patch the game. Then pay for everyday you wont get it to work. Go for it
[ Edit: Oh, and i have to add that every other mmorpg game i have installed on it workes perfect, even eq2 and planetside witch also are there own games]
Got the game to work, but if you have a collectors edition. Do not use the install disc's. Even if you replace the files they tell you to replace it wont work. What will work thouse is to follow this instructions. That comes from SOE, to bad they came alittle bit late, but they accualy helped me to get it work. So creds to the support for that.
BUT!! shame on thouse who says that we players wont get any free days.
THIS WAY IT WORKS !! !! !!

We apologize for any difficulty running our games in Vista - Microsoft changed a few settings to Vista that can cause a few issues running some of our games. These instructions will help you load any Windows XP game in Vista:
1. Right click on the program launch icon
2. Left click on "Properties".
3. In the new window that pops up click on the "Compatibility" tab.
4. In the "Compatibility Mode" area check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
5. In the drop down list make certain that "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is selected.
6. Under "Privilege Level" make certain that the box next to "Run this program as administrator" is checked.
7. Click on "Apply" then click on "Ok".
8. Double click on the program launch icon.
I have vistax64 bit 8800gtx and did my best to try all the possible fixes that were ever written to run vanguard with. But still I'm getting CTD's 4-5 times an hour no matter what I do in game. This hardly makes the game playable for me.
REALITY CHECK
similar specs as the rest of you guys - Vista Ultimate here. Game CTD's about 2-3 times an hour in quest run. The FPS is fine, everything else seems to work well just all of a sudden poof and you are looking at your desktop.
