Theme Hospital!!! Can't get it to work properly on Vista!

This game came out in like 1997, but it's seriously one of the best games ever. My girlfriend runs in just fine on Windows XP. But when I try running it in Vista, it wont display fullscreen. Not even if I run it in compatibility mode. It has huge black borders and plays in a tiny rectangle. Suggestions?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really want to play this game. :(

  works for me in Vista x64 had to just copy the files from the CD as the installer didn't work though.

    Yeah. Even if I copy all the files, the game does run... it just runs in a tiny window in the center of the screen.

      is your video card set to not scale to full screen or maybe your monitor?

        Everything is set to full scale. Scaling ratio is set to fill. This is the only game that gives me this problem. :(
