Same here, Vista 64. Never had any problems running Rfactor/GTR/Evo. You may have to run the programs in compatiblity mode, and sometimes you need to enable "run as adminstrator", but other than that everything has run ok.

Vista here as well, no problems as long as UAC is off during install. BF2 didn't work with it on during istall at least. NR2003 was fine on Vista32, not tested with Vista64. Can't think of any game I've had problems with on Vista, but I've seen other struggle with simple cheap old game collections.

Yes Vista here too (64) but load your rFactor installs directly on your C drive, not program files, and the same for each rFactor installation. I have seperate installations for mods recommended that you do so. Historics and the new Enduroracers for instance. If you dont instal to root you end up with some files in my documents. It works but some things arent where you expect them to be.
