    Installed, all done. Changed all the audio driver fixes. Installed the "BIOSHOCK" driver from lv2g (downgraded from the one above that also did this).

    I get the bioshock logo (the small image), then the screen goes black as the game loads. Except it never changes, and when I click the mouse it crashes to the desktop "Bioshock had to close".

    Whats the deal here?

    Instead of naming this "Yet another Bioshock thread", an unappealing which will cause people to avoid the thread, maybe you should have posted this in a popular
    Bioshock thread, and stop creating Bioshock thread pollution.
