    Hi, I am trying to install Bioshock. It installed all the files then it went to "Downloading latest patch" part and just didn't do anything or make any progress so i exited it.

    Why did it do this and how do i now get past this? will the first lot of files that I installed before it got to there need to be done again? how can i prevent it from doing this again?

    I have a new Vostro 1500. Thnaks.

    tried doing it again and it say the install failed to download the latest patch, please run the setup again at a later date.

    Thanks, I have it working now, took off all firewall stuff and the user controlled part of vista.

    now it just crashes after the cigarette cutscene at the start.
