[CherryIcee]

what are your system specs?

[yogibbear]

Vista is not really a problem.

There's a whole bunch of things you can try, but as Cherry Ice said we need your system specs to help you.

E.g.

OS:
CPU:
Videocard:
Ram:
Sound card: (Onboard, discrete, etc.)
Version: (Steam, Retail, etc.)

Some general installation vista issues can be overcome by:
-try to install in "safe mode with networking" (if you are having problems installing)
(this will get around most virus scanner/daemon tools/firewall/etc. issues)

Once we have your system specs, it'll be much easier to make appropriate recommendations

OS:Windows Vista Ultimate
CPU: Intel Dua Core
Videocard:Geforce 8800GT

Please stop spamming the thread. You need to give people a chance to see it and respond (if indeed they have any suggestoins.)

Did you try yogibbear's suggestion of installing the game in Safe Mode w/ networking?

[Evilmonkee90]

I dont know How
it doesnt give me the option

[CherryIcee]

Restart Windows and as it's loading keep pressing the F8 key. That will give you a Boot Menu and from there you select Safe Mode with Networking.

Try running the installer as Administrator.

I got it to Play But when i get to rapture and when it starts to load it freezes.={

[CherryIcee]

Try forcing the game to run in DirectX 9 mode. Add -dx9 to the Target window of the shortcut and make sure to add a space in front of it.

EXAMPLE:

"C:\Program Files\2K Games\BioShock\Builds\Release\Bioshock.exe" -dx9
