Warning: VISTA-SP1 and WinSP:WW2/MBT problems!

[Horses]

Dear all,

yesterday I installed Vista including SP1 and all works fine except WinSP:WW2/MBT.
My Machine is Intel-based, Nvidia 8800GTS with Drivers 169.25. I have both CD-Versions of WinSP:WW2/MBT and wish to run them under 1280x1024 (=native solution)in windowed mode (as in Windows xp).
I'm very annoyed, because no "solution" works. Disabling the intro,changing to fullscreen,changing settings in the Compatability tab doesn't work. The Game options screen opens, but when I press "Play WinSPww2" nothing happens now. At first after a fresh install of WinSPww2 it started but the menue was stretched and unreadable.

Looking forward to any help to run these great games in Vista.

Can you post your Nvidia driver settings please ?
