Bad download perhaps? That problem is typical to the highly modified installer of theWB release, not BG's...

Do you have any faulty hardware? Do you have 4gb RAM?

Well, with 32bit editions of Windows, 4GB is most likely the faulty hardware. Get the NOPE 64bit release.

vista 32bit uses maximum 3.2gb of physical memory, in theory it supports up to 16gb in 32bit but thats for other addressing issues

This is not exclusive to Vista.
Quote:
To address 4GB of memory you need 32 bits of address bus. (Assuming individual bytes are addressable.) This gives us a problem - the same problem that IBM faced when designing the original PC. You tend to want to have more than just memory in a computer - you need things like graphics cards and hard disks to be accessible to the computer in order for it to be able to use them. So just as the original PC had to carve up the 8086's 1MB addressing range into memory (640K) and 'other' (384K), the same problem exists today if you want to fit memory and devices into a 32-bit address range: not all of the available 4GB of address space can be given over to memory.

For a long time this wasn't a problem, because there was a whole 4GB of address space, so devices typically lurk up in the top 1GB of physical address space, leaving the bottom 3GB for memory. And 3GB should be enough for anyone, right?

So what actually happens if you go out and buy 4GB of memory for your PC? Well, it's just like the DOS days - there's a hole in your memory map for the IO. (Now it's only 25% of the total address space, but it's still a big hole.) So the bottom 3GB of your memory will be available, but there's an issue with that last 1GB.
