Entrenchment wont work with Windows Vista 64

from Stardock Forums

I've just downloaded Entrenchment (already had Sins of a Solar Empire downloaded and running) and now when I try to run the screen just goes black - nothing. If I use Task manager I can close out of Impusle and it restores desktop.

Any suggestions?

Im running Vista64 - brand new computer. Im thinking firewall but even turned off it makes no difference.

im pretty sure it will run under vista x64.  I have 32bit and run without trouble.  i know its a new computer but have you checked to make sure it is running the latest video drivers? nine times out of ten that is the issue.

I'm running Sins with Entrenchment on Vista 64 Home Premium just fine.
