some other tips JIC if you're at the end of the rope . . .
install in C:\ sometimes winderz guards the program files . . . in non XP os's
with vista / win 7 also when reinstalling, do it under admin (also helpful to run it under an account with admin priv) and do the right click and install as admin. I know some installs don't let you do this.
Other thing is turn uac off. This wasn't an issue for in CLOD, but for other PC games on our vista 64 server, sometimes after the game starts, a few mins the UAC comes up, and the game's menus are unclickable until I tab out and look at the desk top to click OK I want to freaking let this program make changes.
after turning UAC off, the game worked fine.
And vista has a glitch that UAC's appls even while your in an admin account. And the handy thing about UAC is on some vista installs, all other PC functions are put on limbo until you ok it (like graphics or even mouse).
if possible if nothing works at all, try moving off vista to Win 7. vista just has these little quirks and glitches that just bug, but they were enough for the IT industry to write off vista as next upgrade and hold out for Win 7.
