mmmhhh...although it should be straight forward, installing games can be a real biiiieeeatch sometimes.
I've had a few games that wouldn't run/install in the past. Then I decided to fit a DVD recorder/writer as more and more games are now coming out on DVD only, and hey presto..they now install/run first time.
Can't really suggest anything new really...just the usual...make sure every driver you have is the latest...after installing defrag your hard-drive. If that doesn't work...uninstall and try again. Not much help I know...
