I'm having a different issue...

I believe alot of people are having an issue with the Win32 file...

I'm also one of the many having trouble with that issue...

It was smooth sailing on the Unreal Tournament III demo...

I just gave up...

I already have alot on my plate NBA 2K8 and SKATE on PS3 (Ratchet and Clank Demo was short but pretty amazing) along with The Orange Box and the Unreal Tournament III demo...

But any help with the Win32 issue wld halp me out...

No, I believe DirectX10 is the newest one...

Try to download that and see if that helps snoopeymaster...

Direct X 10 only works with Vista, and DX 10 video cards. Make sure your video card is DX 10 capable before installing it, and obviously if you don't have Vista it won't work. If you have XP, DX 9.0c is the latest.

I can't get the demo to work either. I downloaded it twice, and still get the Win32 error. :evil:

I have had problem with the COD 4 demo too. But I had it installed but it just kept crashing. ( I had to download the damn thing twice = 8hours with dsl!!)I tried to reinstall it but it just would NOT work. And about your comment about directx 9, the demo must be run by directx 9 says the demo after it loadsDx 9 for you, you can't use directx 10 even if you have it.I think I'll just wait until the real thing comes out and buy it when it goes on sale, funny thing is it will probably run, unlike the demo.

Well, i don't know so much if i were u...but snoopey what are your specs? itmeets the minimum requirements?
Also, check that your video card has the latest drivers installed, and check if there is a Win32 fix that u can download from its website or other site, just use google and type "Win32 fix download" or "Win32"..

Ah and here u got the link to download the latest drivers for ur video card:

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

if u are a PC gamer u will know what to do...

Right if anyone is having the problem of the black screen popping up and just not running the inatller, change the file extension to .zip instead of .exe and extract it through that, but thisis where im having problems.

i know the game is already out, but i keep on having the same problem an error of:

Error in file #1-8..... bad zip file offset.

is xp just saying its a dodgy download and am i going to have any luck? any suggestions would be appreciated.
