have you tried changing the compatibility...

click start
right click on the SimCity4 icon - this will bring up the 'properties window'
click on the compatibility tab and you will see a check box "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
Check the box and use the drop down window to select 'Windows XP (service pack 2)"
Click Apply at the bottom and then OK.
Try running your game..

it works for me.. I have Vista Home Premium... I also have SC4 running on my boyfriends laptop which is running Windows 7...
hopefully we can help you get playing!
