These are the system requirements for the Zoo Tycoon Complete collection
game - doesn't mention anything about running on Vista.

* Microsoft® Windows® 98/Me/XP/2000
* PC with a 233 MHz processor, 300 MHz recommended
* 64 MB of system RAM for Windows 98/ME/2000, 128 MB RAM for Windows XP
* 1.3 GB available hard disk space
* 4x speed or faster CD-ROM drive
* Sound card and speakers or headphones required for audio
* DirectX® 8.0 or later
* Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device


They system requirements above are the min specs for running the game; if
you're running Vista, then you'd obviously have a higher-end machine than
the above, just to run Vista itself let alone any games. Given that it can
run on systems as old as Windows 98, maybe it's just not "new enough" to run
on Vista - MS probably don't guarantee that it will do so.
