Does anyone know if Janes WWII Fighters will work in Windows Vista?

No problems here.Runs fine on 9500gt Graphics card and latest drivers 191.07.No stereo though which is a pity since Nvidia give it an excellent rating.

Thanks. The reason I asked was that I downloaded the demo and could not get it to work at all and I didn't want to buy it if it wouldn't work with vista.

By the way, are there any tips/tricks in the install or setup?

I had WWII Fighters running on a Vista system about a year and a half ago. I'll install again in the next few days and report back here.

In the meantime, I suggest that you not install to the default Program Files folder. I think (but not sure now) that the demo is timed; at the very least, it rotates between two missions and each time you start the demo you alternate between the U.S. mission and the German mission. I have a feeling that Vista's tendency to overprotect any writable files within the Program Files folder is getting in the way of your playing the demo.
