Sometimes it just doesn't work, period. Dang. I am addicted to SC4 and Deluxe. I swear it has something to do with compatibility for Vista. Sometimes it just doesn’t work, period. Dang.

Some weird stuff is happening when I try to run SimCity 4. It goes to a black screen before the EA Games screen ever comes up and I have to press my windows button to get back to the desktop. There's a little window that says "Warning" in it and says "The configuration file (Graphics Rules.sgr) cannot be parse. Using built-in rules." So I press ok and it takes me to the EA Games screen. So I try to play the game, but every time, the graphics are really glitchy. I've only attempted to play a few times, and once there were no yards with the houses, a couple of other times it wouldn't let me see where I was about to lay down road, and every time there's some extra numbers in the tax adjustment section. This game worked fine on Windows XP. It's either Vista or NVidia, but not sure which is causing this. Any help would be appreciated! I just got a Dell XPS w/ NVidia SLI card and Vista.

So if you have not already tried using a no-cd patch, I would and they are simple enough to find on Google. Hopefully, this will solve a lot of your problems. Oh by the way for other people who can't even get the game running, make sure that you have compatibility set for Windows XP SP2 in both normal properties and then under the all user properties. The all user properties should be a button at the bottom of the compatibility tab, it is labeled "Show settings for all users".
