I had the same problem. After you run the .exe file, just wait about 15-20 minutes and it will start. It's just slow for some reason. |

I had the same problem. I could here my hard drive churning away like crazy for well over 20 minutes on my Vista machine and it's not working. Set to run as administrator and even tried compatibility mode. Can anyone else confirm waiting and setting these options didn't work for them either? |

Well, I don't think Vista is the issue. I successfully downloaded and installed the game with no problems on a cheap(500.00) Acer computer running the Vista Home edition. Plays just great as well. So if there's any commonality it must lie elsewhere. (64 bit version? Firewalls?, IE as your default browser, I use Firefox) |

I also have no problems running this on a vista laptop with minimal specs. The problem is elsewhere. |

Possibly. I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit with Windows Live One Care (combined Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Firewall) Normally I get notified when it blocks or detects something but who knows. |

right click on the program and run it on administrative mode. | |
Every OS has its nuances. And I think it's reasonable to assume that everyone who downloaded the game would actually like the opportunity to play it. So by figuring out what the platforms those of us who are having issues have in common (be it Vista or not) maybe we can resolve the issue.
