Vista Ultimate 32BiT. Problems opening Big files??
I have just recently installed Windows ViSTA Ultimate With no problems at all
Downloaded a couple of files to do with my games here is the problem i keep encountering.

Downloaded Battlefield 2 patch apporx 500mb file. Once downloaded i click run and it must take anywhere between 15-20min b4 it actually opens it

Same with the Americas Army i downloaded approx 2.6 gb and have the exact same problem

Any ideas why? and how i might solve it as i imagine it will be the same with all other largish files.

Any 1 else ran into this problem?
Any help appreciated as it's getting quite annoying now

haha.... you NEED an antivirus buddy. Try AVG, and see what it finds. Also, go to ccleaner.com and download that software..

the only way i know of. of not getting any of that is to not go on the internet at all

have you done any virus scans or ada- ware scans?

any time i run any thing in vista i alway right click on it and hit run as administrator.

but first i would do some scanning
