i understand that you stiky this thred (glitchs, driver issues, etc) if you have them then all i can say is sorry ... but on the otherside i dont , simply because vista is NOT a recomended OS in which it to install the game on, BF2142 is a winXP game (or below ME,98), if your having problems with it ... try EA .. you could be waiting 3+ months for drivers in vista to work properly in XP games ..

I have downloaded the latest from Nvidia (163.44 Forceware Vista 32bit). THis does NOT work with First Strike. The driver before ie- (162.22 Forceware Vista 32bit) does work. So if you get so far loading and then it takes you back to the desktop it maybe your graphics driver thats at fault.
