gears of war for pc installation problems

so today i bought gears of war for the pc and when i got home i went to go install it, it took a rather long time but it got to about 75% through and just stopped and my computer froze, so i rebooted my computer and tried again and it only went to about 50% and froze up again. I have tried this numerous times and now im lucky if it gets to 25%. does anyone know what i have to do or if i can fix this problem?????

ps it now will always coem up with a thing saying ERROR 1305, error reading from file D:/program files/microsoftgames/gears of war/war game/cookedpc/environments/COG_City_Ephyra.upk.comp. Verify that the file exists and that you can acess it.

this will come up at a random time during the installation

ya i know, i just got it up tot he decompressing files part, it got to the last blue dot and then exited me out of it

Dunno about the error message but GeOW installation is the worst I've seen for any game. It nearly took an hour to install the damn game on my rig, It was "decompressing the files" for close to 45 minutes.froidnite

Name another game that takes 10gb of disc-space (compressed onto a dual-layered DVD, hence-why it needs to decompress on your harddrive) that doesn't take nearly an hour to install.

Anyways, are you sure all your hardware components are operating properly? I just find it odd that it locks-up during the install process. Something like that makes me curious if one of your devies is at fault.

it could be, i really dont know a lot about computers.

and yes, it didnt finish because when the error came up it was still one blue dot away

I wasn't, it did literally take an hour on my main gaming machine, and even longer on my laptop...

(now if only it actually ran nice and smooth with everything cranked up like it does on my laptop)
