It's something embedded in the code. I tried a few DLL swaps with working games, e.g. Laxius Force, but no luck. There's something specific to Vista/W7 that's mucking up the works.
Also none of the compatibility settings work either. I even tried the Application Compatibility Tool that came with W2K (gives many more choices than the embedded XP tool) but none helped.
I'm just passing this along so others won't spend a lot of time trying for a fix. It'll have to come from the makers.
