Alright everyone Ive tried a ton of things to get Enemy territory working good on vista and must have installed and reinstalled vista at least 20 times now. So this is what I've come to a conclusion of:
First you cannot upgrade or patch ET on vista, or else it will freeze when you try to open it. Second, if you download any mods while joining a server and close and try to re open the game, it will freeze.
The only way I've gotten ET to work is if its just freshly installed and has not been modified at all, but i found a shortcut to making it work. If you have the ET icon on your desktop, right click it and select open file location. Next go to the uninstall folder and double click the uninstall program. Once you open that, select the repair option and it's like its just been freshly installed and you should be able to play. Another thing is to always run the game as administrator.

Something else I found is Compatibility mode. It didn't help me run ET any better but if someone else tries it they might find something that works. Compatibility mode helps you run programs made for older operating systems on Vista, so i thought maybe it might work. Again if you have the ET icon on your Desktop right click it and select properties. Then go to compatibility. Click on the drop down box and you can play around and try all the different options and see if anything works for you. Also on the same window go to the security tab and play around with those options.
Well i hope that helps some of you Vista users, tell me what worked and if you found anything else out that works.
