Bioshock help

[crysis]

Hi, i am having some problems with bioshock. I installed the game, and the direct x it comes with, and i also installed the vdist thing. But now while i played for the first time, right after you get to see the first big daddy, the game crashes to desktop. Then i try downloading the latest video driver i can get, but still nothing. I am using winxp sp2, geforce 7600gt, 1gb ram.
Could some one please help me,
Thanks allot.

Set the graphics to minimum and see if it still crashes? I've heard of people getting a crash or two and just slide by it via minimum graphics and upping the graphics once past the bad bit.

Thanks, that did help for about 10minutes, but then the game bombed out again just after you enter the medical pavilion.

Your post is the reason why I got an XBOX 360.

You could try using a crack for the game (or different crack ) cause if you own the original, it would be legal.
otherwise, maybe play it on a different PC and get a savepoint past that specific part, which you could load on your PC, hoping it doesn't bomb out again.

All I can think of

Anyway, ill try that pepper. Currently i do not use a crack (don't need to).
