I have the complete version (includes the two expansion packs). It seems to
run fine on 32-bit vista ultimate, however, it does have an annoying
tendency to crash and cause my pc to lock up, requiring power off or reset.
Havent tried to fix it yet, but im sure im not the only person with the
problem.

It's a Games for Windows branded title, so yes. All Games for Windows
branded titles have to work on Windows Vista, and that includes both 32-bit
and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista.

Of course, the GOLD edition and the Expansion pack are the ones that carry
the branding, and the original game does not, but you should be able to get
it to work on Windows Vista as is or with the latest patch.

Of course, the website should list Windows Vista too.
