I don't understand how people think it is very short. I find it very long and entertaining. I don't know, I must be tolerant or something.

Well despite how you find it, it is a 6 hour campaign in a genre where 12 hours is standard. Basically if you buy it for the single player only you payed twice what an average FPS would cost per hour.

Two things come to mind. The first is that you don't have enough memory to load the game. google how to increase your page file and that might help.

The more likly I think is that your antivirus or vista it's self might need permission to run the program and might not let it load until it gets the permission. Have you tried hiting cntrl+alt+delete and checking to see if a permission box is running? This has happened to me on several games with vista and it hasn't been that big a deal except sometimes its hard to minimize the game to click the accept button. Either way I would look into this because it should be a one time fix.
