You can put "/novista" (without quotes) on the commandline, and it'll try to put files (userprefs, pilots, saves, etc) in the same directory as bzone.exe. But, if you're not running as an administrator, the files can't be written to c:\program files. Vista will write them elsewhere. That's why the use of MyDocs is preferred (and the default) under vista. If you really find yourself wanting to not use /novista option, then it's best to install BZ2 to something like C:\users\<username>\Documents, as you always have full access to read/write files in there.

No vista sounds like the best option, rather than running in compat mode. compat mode tends to give graphics issues, like displaying in 16bit rather than 32-bit (when in the shell)

I always run BZII as admin anyway, for network privileges and the like... Vista just classes the game as 'Battlezone II' so all my saves etc get written to the same directory in My Docs, so 1.2 saves in with 1.3 etc, not fun with multiple installs.
