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

What antivirus are you running?

[jhhunt]

Do not run antivirus. Never Have.
and i am 1000% sure i have not got any viruses, spyware, malware, adware,worms, trojans, back door crap on my computer.

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
