    I purchased BioShock last night.. came home.. went to play and it locked up.. (Had to CTRL/ALT+DEL to close it..)

    Loaded it back up and it played fine.. decided to update the patch so I could fix the Widescreen crap.. and now it won't even load correctly, just locksup on every try.

    The demo ran fine on my laptop and I got the demo from Steam. I believed I used the drivers that came with the laptop.
