clmt Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hey, I was having the exact same problem and i called the microsoft support line and the guy told me that the problem is only with vista and it's a really stupid but simple fix. All you need to do is click START>GAMES>then click the gears of war icon and it wont crash anymore. It has to do with something with games for windows installed a certian way to vista. Hope it helps.
