Hey, I'm going to get The Simpsons Hit and Run for pc, but I'm unsure if it'll work on Windows Vista x64 SP2, so I just wanted to comfirm if I can before I get it. I'm guessing I can run it using the "windows xp sp2" compatibility settings, but I'm not sure. I looked up the issue on google and found that some people had problems with it, and I don't want to waste my time, so any help here?

Thanks.
