Do you have the latest patch for it? I think it resolves it, it fixed it for me on Vista 64 bit.

x64 has worse support for games and drivers currently.

Did you try disabling Desktop Compisition? I can't remember what its called its on the compability tab.

Also make sure you try the latest betas.
