    Well, I gave in and bought the game. Well with this "install as you play" thing, it screws up my computer. Ive launched it once, then tried to play it online, and it stopped responding, and now when I go into the game, I see the Bungi advertisment part, but after that, I get a complete black screen. Is it the game that I should take back, or is there some setting that Vista comes with that doesnt let games work, that I need to Disable?

    That's strange. Maybe try running it as administrator?

    The game crashes when starting up about 50% of the time for me, but if I can get in, I'm good. But then again, I just installed the game completely first - I (apparently rightfully so) didn't trust Microsoft not to screw something up with the "play-as-you-install" option.
