Well... I am havign a problem that hasn't been posted here.

I am using the LOLCAT ISO mounted in newest daemon tools.
Installs fine. No errors.

I am using the scenpwoned crack. I move the 2 files into the folder where they need to go and overwrite the old ones.

I then import the reg file into registry.

When I run the game I get an immediate error box that says basically "This application can not run because it is not configured properly. Uninstalling and reinstalling may fix the problem. (paraphrased)

Now, I have uninstalled and reinstalled to different directories 2 different times.
Same problem. Any ideas?


U dont have Securom installed. First install the bioshock demo and then the cracked release!

Somebody said that because LOLCATS release does not install Securom.

point is, it always amazes me that people complain about how shit doesnt work because they think they know shit and dont bother to read the nfo. it explains quite clearly what to do to get it going... the lolcats release works just fine on a computer thats never had anything bioshock related previously installed.

Already been said, but just once more; using ONEHiTWONDER and Darkcoder's crack, the game works without the latest Securom.

I made a backup image of Vista, then installed the game and played away. Then I restored Vista from that image I made prior to installing Bioshock and only merged the .reg file.

Worked first time.

The strange thing is, I can copy the complete Bioshock folder and transfer it to another computer, where neither Bioshock nor the Demo nor SecuROM was installed and - it works flawlessly, only import the reg-file and start the .exe (used the first no-name release - simple copy of the original DVD -, without crack, and applied later the darkcoder crack)

Strange, isnt it? Maybe its depending on the operating system. Maybe Vista has a strict "correct application installation" control or something like that, otherwise I could not explain how the "This application can not run because it is not configured properly. Uninstalling and reinstalling may fix the problem."(as mentioned above) can happen. Confused

you watch it... he'll come back and say run the what where? how do i run a program... where am i... what was the question again?

i mean it even TELLS you to do that in the install instructions...

...and this has nothing to do with being smart or being a know-it-all... its about being able to use some slight degree of common sense, and follow a reaaaallly simple step-by-step list of things to do... dont they teach you how to do that kind of stuff in kindergarden?

Do you think the game is coded in Visual Basic ?!?
It is the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable FFS !

I been in Iraq and away from a pc for a while, so I been out of the loop. Now is there some new way of unraring these games? I got part 1 and 2 of the onhitwonder version but i cannot unrar it. I tried everything possible but it keeps telling me that I need to start extraction from a previous volume. What pervious volume, I have the whole freaking thing? I put all files in one folder and still get the same thing. Damn thing won't unrar. Can someone please help me out?

I know it's something very simple that I'm probably overlooking. So please help me out before you flame me Surprised

Well thats what happens when you use onboard cheap crap audio. Buy standalone card. Thats the best solution.

My mainboard is a eVGA 680i board which certainly hasnt been cheap and uses realtek as the onboard sound card and bioshock works just fine...

This board isnt cheap but sound chip on it is POS. You do know that that board is made by Nvidia and only has sticker EVGA and costs 30% more because of it? Onboard audio usess 10% - 20% of youre cpu power, sounds like shit and baseicly only use for it is to listen to windows sounds.

If i were you i would make new installation of windows, dual boot, and then try if it works. If it does then youre old windows are a mess and you should format. If it doesnt work then you did something wrong. I only used ONEHiTWONDER release and crack. I saw that many people had problems with lolcats rel. Well anyway its up to you.You wont loose much by not playing it i can tell you that.
