Hello,
It's Vista. I'm afraid that starting of the game is only the beginning of your problems...
Turn OFF User Account Control (UAC) and then you should be able to start it.
Welcome back!

well, i got a little bit further, before nothing happened, but now i managed to get a black screen and an error message, i don't remember what it said, and i don't want to boot up the game again because i'll have to restart the pc, anyone here who play it on vista??
Maybe i have to use the old backup PC....

Hard to help you without knowing what error you got and when exactly...
Be sure to set game screen resolution to match your desktop resolution.
Also, try running it in software mode.
From members here I know that navbeacon plays Bz on Vista without problems.
If everything fails, old PC with Win98 or WinXP sounds like a good idea.

well i managed to get it going, i can choose a side and start a mission and i can play for about 2 seconds before the video stops, if i crash into something it goes to that place and then stops again, looks like the old xp will have to do it
