Hello :)

I seem to have a problem installing a game I bought not too long ago. I have
had it for a couple days and for some reason it's taken it 2 days to install
only to 40%. I don't know about you but this is a problem. I checked my hard
drive space and I have enough space, and making sure that I do have enough
space I uninstalled some games I haven't played recently. I need help I don't
know what to do. Is there something that might help the game install faster,
or is there a problem with my computer. Note: I do have enough space on my
hard drive.

Thanks and willing to try anything (except deletign everything :P)

Hi Robb Reis,

Let's try some basic troubleshooting. If the problem still persists
please post back and we'll try some more steps. Good luck! :-)

1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using this utility: http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
or this method: http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php

You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:
http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php

2. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com and then
install Windows Defender from: www.microsoft.com/spyware to
remove any Spyware or Adware which could clog up your PC.

3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.

4. Go to the Windows Update site for everything under Critical and
Recommended: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com Some games
require a patch: http://www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=a

Try copying the whole disk(s) to your hard drive. If that doesn't work
you might have a corrupt disk or a defect/dirty drive.
