I just recently switched over to Vista, and was wondering if there is any way to indicate that a game will actually run on Vista. What brought this up is that I just had a game returned that I ran on XP but the person getting it said that he had a problem and didn't want to keep it for this reason. I can envision that this sort of problem will pop up when gamers start getting games that will NOT run on Vista. It doesn't seem that there is any way to distinguish when you offer a game up for trade that it is Vista compatible. Any suggestions?

Why?

It has a 'run in XP' compatibility mode, did the person try that? I know I've had to do that more than once.

As a general rule, any game published under the "Games for Windows" banner will be Vista compatable. Past that, it's hit or miss. Check around online for more info on particular titles.
So far I haven't had any problem playing games on Vista. And I got a couple of windows 98 games. Just run in compatibility mode.
