My Windows Vista can be booted in safe mode by doing this: - turn your computer off by the plug - then turn it back on - it should say " windows was not shut down properly the last time it was used" - You can then reboot normally to last used settings - boot in safe mode with MS-DOS - boot in safe mode with networking (internet)
If memory serves, backup and restore in vista requires the RPC process to be running, which doesn't run in safe mode. Your best bet is to reinstall Vista, get it up and running in "normal" mode, then do your restore.

You can try to run it in the compatibility mode. But 99% of games for Windows 98 will not work under Vista.
Put the game in compatibility mode for Wondows 98/ME and change the color set to windows standard. And just to be on the safe side run the game as an administator.
