Question
I cant get the updates to download so that I can play this game. When I go to MS and try and download open gl and the driver updates, my system wont complete the download as it says one of the files is corrupted. I am running an 800athlon with a cut down 32 g force card and 15gig memory so there shouldnt be any problem.
It says to make sure my game card BIOS is up to date on some other sites I have looked at, how do I do this. Thanks for your help, Steve

Answer
I'm, sorry if  I did not understand your question fully ...
as I read it you are trying to download updates from the windows update site, and it won't allow it to finish because of a corrupt file?
first thing to check is if you have antivirus software enabled (if you do turn it off for now) or if you have a firewall software adjust so microsoft stuff can get through.
next is to check tour bios with the main board mfg's site and make sure it is the most recent, then go to the nvidia site and download the latest version of the detonator drivers (more current than the mfg's most times)
I know tha this sounds like a lot to do but your computer will love you for it thereby completing the circle .... ha ha ha ha (we do love our computers don't we?

good luck, and if you need more help you can e-mail me direct at   jetmutant@earthlink.net
