I haven't heard of a particular bug like that, and I'm sure I would have.

Perhaps it's a corrupted file. Have you tried to re-install HoW?

Have you tried changing your graphics settings? What's your computer specs?

I've also heard that some of these older games don't get along too well with Vista.

I've tried iwd1 with vista. It crashes a lot.

Vista can co-exit with XP. Try a multi-boot.

What is your current operating system?

Where did you get the game from? Did you buy it as a hard copy or did you buy it as a download?

What patch are you using? In what order are you installing the game and patches?
