Midway's Knowlege Base has information on starting the Suffering with a clean boot on Windows Vista, and nothing on that page indicates that it's NOT compatible.

Have you run Microsoft's Vista Compatibility Update?

I think its not fully compatible because of the version of Protection Driver from Starforce that Midway uses to encrypt the product. It might not be able to be updated through the starforce website. You can try and run it though.

try right clicking the icon then go properties and then click on the "compatibility" tab and switch it to Windows XP Service Pack 2 or w.e and check off run as administrator.

it might help.

The latest patch supposedly gets this protection removed.
