#Doom 3 demo patch windows 7 install#

I did wonder if, when installing things, a person should just right click and select 'run as administrator' if one is sure the program is perfectly fine. The only thing that failed was the security update of IE 7, I suspect because IE 8 was installed. I would suspect it does, it's a brand new system and the first thing we did was get on line and run the Windows update. McAfee updates with no problem.ДЇirst, I don't know if this laptop has the latest service pack of Vista 64 bit. I don't know if there will be a problem installing other things, as the only other thing he has installed is the Windows updates and another game (and that's how he ended up with the Steam software, which kind of works like a browser of sorts to a whole online gaming community). I've been looking around online, without having access to the laptop or the exact wording of the message at this point. That sort of had me going 'uh-oh', because I know Installshield can affect a lot of things and if it's not working right, that could be a rather yucky thing. He said he got an Installshield error message this time, he couldn't remember the exact wording. (Steam forum users say the Doom 3 demo doesn't work on Vista, so my son thought he would try downloading the demo from the original site instead and see if that went any better.) Anyway, I left the room and by the time I got back, he had shut the laptop off and headed for bed.

It was Doom 3, and he wasn't able to get it to work through the Steam software installation.

He's got his new laptop with Vista Home Premium 64 bit, and he tried to install a game Demo. Maybe a dumb question, and I've really got to get my son asking stuff himself.
