'''Windows Vista''' is the new operating system from [[Microsoft]].

==Tomb Raider on Vista==

The games [[Tomb Raider II]] to [[Chronicles]] will for the most part run at once or with the "Windows 98/ME" compatibility mode enabled.

[[The Angel of Darkness]] will not run on most PCs since Microsoft has removed the Direct3D interface used by EAX. Owners of a Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card manufactured by Creative can avoid this problem by using the program [[ALchemy]]; all other won't be able to play AoD on Vista.

[[Tomb Raider Legend]] will run without problems on Vista.
