I have it sitting on my shelf waiting to install it. The game is the only thing holding me back.

Hi Red.....
Not a good idea to play TW07 on Vista.
Vista is a massive memory hog, you will need at least 2GB Ram memory.
Also no good hardware support on Vista.
You will have a downgrade of your game .
I will wait to try until TW08 with DX10 (?) is released and there is a service pack of Vista released.

I cant get 07 to work on Vista without the latest nVidia driver crashing after every hole,I did read one post where it was working ok with an ATI video card.

for all the above who are trying, can you state whether your using the Upgrade version or the full. If full, what one did you buy? Thanks, be easier to help with those details included too.

You should find file animator.ddl inside bin folder of TW07 game:
Default path is:

C:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 07\bin

When animator.dll file is not inside the bin folder, you can copy file from DVD and paste in bin folder.
On desktop go to: Start....choose: Search......and do a search for: animator.ddl on your TW07 DVD.

TW07 works beautifully on Vista 32 here. I do have a C2D 6850 dual coare cpu and ATI HD2900XT video card. Not a single crash or hiccup yet.

This is an interesting one for me. I have both Vista Home Premium and XP Home installed on my desktop (on separate hard drives - with dual boot). I also have Vista Home Premium installed on my laptop. At first I could play it on any and all with no problem. Then one day out of the blue I could no longer get it to play online in Vista using my desktop. It would still play just fine offline. It was around the same time as that Windows update came out but I do no know if that was the culprit or not. Because I got it to work after making the changes. I even tried re-installing the game, to no avail. I still play it on my laptop with no problem, but on my desktop I have to reboot into XP, which is the only reason I even still have XP. I do not use it for anything else. Go figure - lol.

Oh, and I am uing nVidia drivers as well. I have 4 gigs on my desktop and two on my laptop.

No, at first I hid it, but then I allowed it to install and then changed the one line of code so it would work. I did the same for the laptop and it works okay. In fact, after do that, the desktop worked okay and then all of a sudden it stopped. Maybe I should delete all updates after that date and see if it will work. Hmm . . . .
