You need to run in compatability mode , right click the desktop item and under compatabilty click on run in XP mode .

No you don't it runs perfect without having to do anything. You did used to have to run as admin due to punkbuster needing elevated rights, but the latest pb updates have fixed that.

Although Vista handles it better than previous versions, you're generally letting yourself in for trouble by not doing a clean install of an operating system. Take the plunge, backup your data and format and reinstall.

You'll save yourself a lot of trouble in the long run.
