Posts from Heroes 5 and Windows Vista... what can I do to make them work together? Auto-translated

I have a problem. I installed Windows Vista, and then immediately installed Heroes 5 and the expansion pack. Neither one wants to work. Well, they do, but... when I launch the game, and the initial intro with the menu selection starts, it starts lagging terribly. It lags every 3 seconds, and you barely have time to click "exit"! And after you finally manage to exit, it says that the video driver stopped responding and was successfully recovered. I've already reinstalled the codecs and updated the video drivers. Or maybe I need to reduce the CPU overclock a bit... I don't know. What should I do? I really hope for some help, because I'm getting really bored in the evenings... :confused:

A couple of questions:
What are your computer specs?
What version of Vista do you have? (Home Basic, Ultimate, etc.)
Is your game/Vista licensed?
Advice:
Update Vista;
Update the game;
Update your drivers.
P.S. Heroes runs perfectly on my Vista. :)

Computer: CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 2.40GHz, 8Mb, 1066MHz, 4Mb Socket-775
256Mb PCI-E GeForce 8600GTS, ASUS
2xDIMM 1024Mb PC2-6400(800Mhz) OCZ Crossfire Edition (OCZ2A8002GK) 4-4-4-15

Vista: Windows Vista Home Basic, licensed. Although, the game is running through Daemon Tools =) I just haven't gotten around to buying the discs yet.

Install DirectX 9.0c. Vista has version 10.0 by default, but it doesn't have full backward compatibility with 9.0. However, they can coexist perfectly.
