New laptop, new OS, new problems...my laptop lets me DL the acinstaller but when i want to continue windows "user accunt control" window pops up i press yes...after that i get a spinning wheel and nothing happens :\ running windows 7 64 bit

Make sure when you are downloading the installer that you are actually saving it to your hard drive and not trying to run it from it's current location. Once you have it downloaded, then try opening the file you just downloaded. Also make sure to install it to c:\Games and NOT into program files.

after i did that i go to DL the game and it says something along the lines like it was not installed correctly, use version that works on current windows system. try to redownload program using correct settings....???:(

now i get a message saying "if this program didnt install correctly try reinstalling using settings that are capipable with this version of windows"

That happens when you go to try and redownload it? What browser are you trying to download it with? My guess would be IE. Probably have to clear IE's cache, but I think trying to download it with another browser, like Firefox, would be a better idea.

It lets me download the Asherons call installer, but as soon as its done downloading it gives me a message saying "if this program didnt install correctly try reinstalling using settings that are capipable with this version of windows" very fustrated, just bought this laptop yesterday and already cant get stuff downloaded on it lol i miss my Dell

So you have a file that is something like ac1install.exe somewhere on your computer and when you click on that, it comes up with the messages about if this program didn't install correctly?

Just trying to make sure I understand where exactly the problem starts happening. I have never seen someone have that problem when trying to install AC. I keep thinking that it's trying to run the installer from the current location instead of actually downloading it and then letting you click on the installer to start the install.

Where are you downloading it from? http://ac.turbine.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=77&Itemid=71&NavItemid=62 is where you should be downloading it from. (Make sure to follow the directions where it says to Save As or Save Target As) That also has a link to the data files so that you can get everything mostly up to date to prevent the patching from taking forever when you do eventually get this figured out.

yes sir, i download it from the link you sent me, i right click on it and save target as and i save it in a file i created that is in my C drive i called it "games". the problem happens right after i DL the ac1install.exe file a window pops up saying the file may have not been downloaded properly, redownload the file using settings that are acceptible on this version of windows....never had this problem.

it just seems like the current client download(file) is not compatiable with the version of windows im running....almost like running ac on vista all over again.

How you are saying it's happening makes no sense whatsoever.

Once the file is completely downloaded, it should just sit there and wait for you to do something with it. It should not be talking about whether or not it's compatible with Windows or not.

What browser are you using to download the install file? Do you have any 3rd party download managers running? What size is the install file once it's completely downloaded? Can you right click on the install file and run it as Administrator?

The install file itself doesn't check which particular version of Windows you are running and plenty of people, myself included, run AC on Windows 7 just fine.
