I did indeed mean that. The game refused to run un-updated, and that freeze is a minor bug, but even so - a very annoying one.
I knew Vista had compatibility problems with "older" software, as new versions of Windows always seem to have, (thereīs however, and interestingly enough, almost always perfect compatibility when running older microsoft programs...hmm..) but iīm curious as to why the game only crashes at that excact point, since itīs not obvious from my perspective.

Well, nobody else seem to have this problem, but i may just have discovered a solution for myself:
The Windows vista feature "Aero" apparently annoys my (and a few other peoples-) graphics card drivers, from "behind" the game and occupy resources, even though it shouldnīt be active. Disabling this...smart feature, seems to have done the trick, but it may also improve FPS and therefore minimize any occouring lag.
FEAR also crashed on me several times, but havenīt since i disabled that...feature.
Controlpanel(classic view) - Personalization - Windows colour and apperance - Open classic appearance properties - Choose Windows Vista Basic colour scheme...
The End(?)
