I have found, and I am sure most will agree with me, that prior to installing any game or software you should clean out the drive,,,,Cookies...cache...history...temp files....ect...run a program like ad-aware and/or spybot search and destroy to look for those pesky addware files and registry entries....scan computer for virus's, run a good reg cleaner ..run a disk scan and choose fix errors.....defrag the hard drive.....disable all software running in the background including anti virus and firewall software...(you should always disable antivirus software when installing new drivers not doing this could lead to driver problems)make sure your drivers are up to date...dont install the direct X that comes with the game if you have that version or higher already installed, to do this just run the Direct X Diagnostic tools and it will show you the version you have installed, and from here yopu can also run some checks on your video card and sound card..although these tests arent the best....after doing all that above...and also besure your windows is up to date at windows update......now try and install the game...by doing the above first you have already taken care of the first part of trouble shooting if for some reason you do have problems with the game...hopefully by doing this you wont have any problems....oh ..and one more thing...before you instal the game check to see if there are any patches available..if so down load them and as soon as you install the game ..go ahead and install the patches, install them before you even try to ply the game........these are some of the issues I have ran across with people having problems with installing and playing games while testing for a few game developers...also if you do try and uninstall the game to reinstall it..its best to go to the game folder and delete what files are left over from the uninstall if there are any files left........I sure hope this may help some of ya
