Maggie, if you have the CD version of the game that has StarForce, you won't be able to play it on a Vista computer. Changing the resolution and color depth won't get you past StarForce.
The download version that Dottie was talking about in the first post of this thread does not have the StarForce problem.
agds.exe is Advanced Graphics Design System and is the game engine for Black Mirror (mentioned in
***this article***.
It won't help with a StarForce incompatibility, but
