On the product page it says Vista32 compatible. I've only ever run this game on Vista64 so what is the supposed Vista64 issues?

I think they mean, they were only able to test it on a 32 bit Vista system

not everything that runs on 32, will run on 64

OK, thanks. Only games that won't run on Vista64 that will run on Vista32 are games that have any 16bit code. I see they claim Forge of Freedom is Win2K compatible and I have been spending the last hour trying to figure out why it doesn't run on my Win2K computer. It loads up then just at the end of loading when it is about to go to the game menu it just dumps out to nothing, no error message or anything so can't figure out what the issue is. It runs on Vista64 fine though even though they say it is tested for Win2K and XP only.
