why the hell did you upgrade to vista!?

Windows 7 and XP are both vastly superior

anyways, there are issues with the graphics drivers and Sins in the early run so check the drivers first then attempt a reintstall

if that doesn't work, yeah chuck the computer out the window and get one that runs at least XP if not Win7

like I said, check your graphic drivers, Vista had severe issues with that (more so than XP or Win7)

I do know that ones have gotten it working and with relative ease later on, as for myself I choose not to downgrade to Vista and have stayed at XP until I can get money to upgrade to Win7 (damn bills always getting in the way) so I can't help much more sorry.
