Hello Curt,Seeing this version of Microsoft Flight Simulator is an "older" version, it should have no problem running on Windows Vista. It will also run on the now non-supported Windows XP platform. I am using Windows 8.1 and have had no problems with this program, with the exceptions mentioned in my review of this software. Happy Flying!! David W. Long

Probably, it runs on XP. It needs speed for all the graphics. Processor and video card. Runs fine on my hopped up old XP machine. The new edition basically needs a high end gaming machine. Cool but not needed. MS generally runs somewhat old programs well, sometimes better. I am not an IT person.

I believe it will run on Windows 8 but you have to run it as administrator. After the program runs and loads you maybe asked if you are the administrator. If not right click on the program start icon, select security, and you can become the program administrator there. In all fairness be advised I have no experience with Windows 8 but do have some programs even on Windows Vista I run in Administer mode.

Yes. That is, Vista can run on the board. Don't see any reason it wouldn't.

Just checked the box it says good for WinXP (SP3), Vista (SP1)/7/8 and that's quoted in system requirements. Hope this helps.

I think so..everything that has said was for XP has been installed on the Vista. Got this for my daughter and her family and they play it all the time so I'm sure it does.

Diana, Yes, I am running Vista on a Dell XPS 410. It came with XP; so I had some issues with software compatibility for a while, but it all turned out fine.

Yes it can run on Windows 8.1 However it will need to run on the Steam program which is free unless you desire to buy more engines and more tracks.

Sorry, cannot say, I'm running Vista but works great for me. Good luck! You might check with Radeon techs support.

I have it installed in a 64 bit Windows 7 machine and the install and operation is flawless. I would assume there should be no issue on a Vista system but I don't know for a fact.
