Vista vs SE4

Anyone else having the game hang while loading? I've been fighting it for a while now, but no luck tricking it into running on Vista.

Funny thing is that SE1,2, and 3 all run fine for me on vista.

Its best to install it outside of Program Files.

Hrm. The game only hangs when I install the SE4 to Deluxe patch.

The Deluxe patch changed the music from CD tracks to .mp3 files. Could it be a sound issue?

Does patching Deluxe from v1.93 to v1.94 or v1.95 help?

Right now I see a few options

1.) Find my SE4 Gold CD again and install from that (yes, I still have and use my SE4 standard) and then upgrade to deluxe
2.) Maybe I should eject the SE4 Cd before running the game. Perhaps a bug where it tries to read the music still?
3.) Stab vista in its cold black heart
4.) Investigate why SE4/D needs firewall access

I should also note the game might not load outright or load and show the pre-game menu then hang

Another clue, track 8 produces an access denied error
