I'm running Windows XP, SP2 with an NVidia 8600 GT graphics card and Intel Quad Core 2.4 Ghz CPU with 4 gigs of Corsair Ram.

The game will not install at all. It takes about 3 minutes after double clicking the install exe for the installer to appear and very shortly it becomes non responsive. This is the second installation. The first time it did install and I was able to enter my ID, however when I tried to start the game it froze at the splash screen. After trying some of the remedies suggested in other threads, I decided to uninstall, and reinstall it however, it wouldn't go past the beginning of the installation program. Thinking the download may have gotten corrupted, I redownloaded it with the same results.
I have disabled anti-virus and firewall, added runservice to DEP and nothing works. Naturally, I have rebooted the machine, warm and cold and nothing.
Because I couldn't get it to run, I was unable to unlicense the game before uninstalling. I hope that doesn't affect the licensing. But under the circumstances, I'm just about ready to ask for a refund.
