Here is where you get the Vista patch
-->   http://www.thearchifamily.com/?page=vcvista
I have not used it but members of my clan do and someone over on Auscong confirmed that it works, also. I believe this archi site is German.  The quote below is what they sent me when this came out.

Hallo forrest747!
For Windows Vista players and server admins there is finally a way to get around the stupid "cheat #149" problem!
VCVista is available as SERVER and CLIENT version but ONE is enough to function!

IMPORTANT: First, you must know that this tool will only help if a PLAYER does the following:

.) Start vietcong.exe as administrator explicitly:
http://www.google.at/search?hl=de&q=vista+start+application+as+admin

OR (even better):

.) Disable the annoying User Account Control:
http://www.petri.co.il/disable_uac_in_windows_vista.htm

Otherwise, you may not even come to the cheat #149 kick but HradBa will not be able to initialize!

- SERVER VERSION:
Windows Vista players will be able to join your HradBa206 protected server. They do NOT need the client version!
vcded.exe must run as process, if it runs as a service, please contact me, I have no experience in that.

- CLIENT VERSION:
Windows Vista players will be able to join any HradBa206 protected server. The server version need NOT be installed there!

You must also start the tools explicitly as admin or have the "User Account Control" disabled, see above.
If you are not able to start the tools ("VCVista not started" (Client) or "INJECTION FAILED, VCVISTA STILL INACTIVE" (Server)) try disabling ZoneAlarm firewall/AntiViruses, they may block it ...

ATTENTION: The .exe files may be wrongly detected by (overcautious) AntiVirus- Programs.

Download:
Archi_Vista Patch_Server
Archi_Vista Patch_Client

Have fun with this!

And before the above German patch, here is what Auscong had to get around the Vista problem.  This one involves removing DirectX 10 (which Hradba detects as a cheat).  A lot of work.

I recommend using the tool by forrest in the first post, it only requires you to run vista without UAC, and it works like a dream.

U mean, 1.4 wont start?
Or it worked before with 1.4 and lower, but not anymore? Are u running 1.6?

Oh well.. if u are using 1.4 and its not working, maybe the patch is only for 1.6.
Update anyway and see if that works. If it doesnt, uninstall, and reinstall again. Apply the patches and try starting the game again.

It HAS to work.

How does the patch works? U install and update, replace a file, and launch it? Or its something in memory?
