there IS another way!!! instead of opening the SporeApp file or whatever, which doesnt work for me, you can do it another way. i know that people would say that their spore just doesnt load and the process for it just sits there doing nothing, but you can make another user account on your computer. spore should be in your new user account, and you can run the game from the new user account. hopefully this helps. its a weird way but it works.

EDIT: btw when you load the game, it might give you a black screen for a second and take you back to the desktop, like it does for me, but just wait, it will load. if it is, you shouldnt be able to right click on ur desktop.

EDIT: dont worry spore341 it does work on vista. it doesnt give me a graphics card error anymore and the game runs fine. in fact i cana run the game on maximum performance with little lag. so i think that the graphics card error has nothing to do with ur graphics cards
