I don't like Windows' compatibility mode... At least the one in XP is really bad as all the games run very slowly. You could try running the game in normal mode.

About the 1MB patch, I can't help since I don't have Vista, but, in my XP machine, mine only worked when I ran it manually. You need to execute the patch using a program named "sdbinst", which, IIRC, is in the WINDOWS folder.

Double-click the 1MB patch file. When Windows asks you which program you want to open it with, search for "sdbinst" (without quotes) in the WINDOWS\System32 folder, then use it to run the 1MB patch. This is how it's done in XP; I've never used Vista before so I don't know if it's still the same way or even if it works at all.
