Thanks i found the problem, my windows installer service was stopped and on manual .

Glad to see you both are up and running on the game. It sure is purty

Hmm, I suppose I needed to upgrade my rig anyway, now might be the time. I already started expereiencing some performance issues with Arcania.

I bought the premium version of Witcher 2, and it comes beautifully packaged with lots of feelies and even a hardcover comic book.

Installing and initialising the game went fine for me. My big problem are "serious error" crashes (my whole system reboots with a 'serious error' message) that I get every hour or two. Anybody else experiencing these?

Hmmm…. no crashes here. The only problem I'm having is performance so horrible in interior locations it renders the game unplayable. I think I'm gonna have to shelve the game until next week's patch comes out. I hope that fixes a lot of stuff.

I've now upgraded my GPU from an Nvidia 9800GTX to a 570GTX, and although the graphics are only minimally better, performance is fine and no crashes since the new GPU.
So here's hoping…
