After installing the game on Windows Vista Ultimate x32 it initially didnt work.
I then tried various diffrent approaches to making the game run, and came to this;
Run the RT3.exe in compatability mode for Windows 2000, and run it as an administrator,. Both options can be found by right clicking RT3.exe, selecting properties, change to the "Compatability" tab, and changing the settings for compatability, and selecting the check box for "Run this program as an administrator"
Works for me fine, hopefully it will be usefull for some of you guys aswell.

RRT 3 worked fine until I got the Vista upgrade. Now it crashes just like the posts above. Even tried to run it on the old install of XP. Got error message "Invalid Operation".

Freaking game doesn't seem to boot or install properly onto my Windows Vista computer. Tried plenty of ways to adjust it. I heard so much about it. Not worth the buy until they either update Windows Vista, a patch, or you buy/own an XP desktop with SP2.

Same thing as poster above, the game briefly shows the main menu in windowed mode than crashes. I bought the game at Target for $10 bucks. Oh well....

Vista Home Premium loaded system (high end graphics, 2GB RAM, fast proc, etc.): Loaded the game, when running, brief splash screen, then fails to run. Tried XP comatibility mode, same thing. Runs fine on Windows XP SP2, but not on Vista

This version distributed via Steam.
Suspect graphics subsystem problem - causes total crash of game. Brief flicker of menu screen before crash. Possible to get running in background with audio working, but cannot then switch window to foreground.
