In 5 easy steps!

1. Go to your FoF folder.

2. Right click on the FoF.exe

3. Go to properties.

4. Go to compatability.

5. Check on the "Make compatible" box, set the compatability to Windows 2000.

Now play FoF and enjoy! :D

... and setting it to work on Windows 2000 makes it work on Vista?
Weird. Can anyone confirm this (a screen would be a nice one)? It sounds fishy. Not saying I don't think it doesn't work, it just sounds too easy.
Goodbye everyone. It's been fun. I spent many many hours here on these boards and playing/contributing to FoF. Today I uninstalled my game and deleted all my files. I just don't have the time or interest anymore. I won't be coming back here anymore. I might show up in the IRC from time to time to chat. I regret nothing.

So long, farewell.

I want to see if it's just your comp, though. Hence "Confirmation".

...Needs confirmation before a sticky, doesn't it?
