My new VISTA computer is having STARFORCE drice compatibility issues. Can someone help me with a work around so I can get SHIII to run on Vista?

As background, I recently upgraded my old PC to a new one as SHIII was running very slowly.

Unfortunately it came with Vista.

When I went to run my game, it first said I couldnt install it due to not having Administrator Prevlidges. Once I played with the Administrator area, I recieved a different message saying the STARFORCE driver is blocked due to OS compatibility issues.

Apparently some posters have have SHIII running under Vista. Did they require updated drivers from SHOCKWAVE or did the 1.4b patch fix it?

Thanks in advance.
