Sims 2 and Windows Vista problem??

I bought a new computer for the youth center I manage, which of course
came with Windows Vista. Experimenting with it at home, I installed
Sims 2 but when I tried to play, a message came up advising that the
program had known compatibility issues and that I should go online for
the fix. I didn't want to use my personal passwords and ISP to go
online with a computer that isn't mine (maybe this is paranoia on my
part), but was wondering if folks are still having problems with Vista
and Sims, and if Microsoft does provide an online solution.

Our home computers still have XP (and will for the forseeable future!).

I have sims 2 on my vista laptop and have not had any pronblems at all
running it. I also have all the expansions installed and all the add-ons as
well and still no problems
