When does the error occur, when you insert the CD? When the installshield application starts? or none of the above? Apply all your Windows Updates. Find and download the latest video and audio drivers for your computer. (You have an nVidia card in your computer, I recommend the driver from laptopvideo2go.com: http://laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20270 - Vista 32-bit http://laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20271 - Vista 64-bit I think you have 64-bit, but check your system just to be sure.) Find the dxwebsetup.exe file from http://www.microsoft.com/directx This should ensure all your computer files are updated (yes, even new computers need updates). If you try all this and the game still doesn't install, respond, include the original message as well as the game name. -- -A.

True, but if you install the version online you get all the files to date and you don't have to worry about it in the (immediate) future. Only takes like an extra 30 seconds. -- -A.
