To get The Sims 3 to work on Windows 8 would be the same as getting it to work on Windows 7 or Vista.
Yes, any sims game will work with Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.
Only games that worked in Windows Vista will work for Windows 7. Unless, they are games such as The Sims or SimCity.
yes, it did for me
I've installed it on my new laptop that comes with Vista. It works fine but sometimes I have to remove the disc, reinsert it then click the icon to make it work.
Yes, The Sims 2 University expansion pack is compatible with Windows Vista. You need The Sims 2 original stand-alone game before the expansion pack will work. If you have problems running it on Windows Vista, try right-clicking on the shortcut and choosing "Run as Administrator..." and then choosing "Allow" when the dialog box pops up. Also, make sure your computer has all the recommended specs to run The Sims 2 University (which most likely it does if it is running Windows Vista!)
It works on xp,vista, and 7 best on win ultimate
There is a windows vista freeware that you can download and use. Simply search dreamrender for windows vista freeware and you should come across it.
Vista? If so SOME vista machines have to press the Windows Key when pressing the others.
Nero does work on Windows Vista.
Maybe it's because of compatibility issues with 64 bit windows vista. If your not running 64 bit vista than it won't work on vista at all. Go back to XP. It might work on Windows 7, and it would definitely work on windows XP Mode. But you have to have pro or ultimate to have XP Mode. Since 7 is much better than Vista, you should consider upgrading. Otherwise, go back to XP.
Yes, it can work with Windows Vista, it actually works great
