Re: what game are you playing

c) When that finally finished, I was required to download a 1.2GB update
d) try to start the game, it tells me I need the latest Nvidia drivers - download those, install, and off we jolly well, erm, go!
e) well, no - I am now downloading a 4,544.31MB patch - luckily, it's from a good server, so it's downloading at 8MB/sec
Strangely enough, when I installed COD Black Ops II last month, I had none of these 'challenges'......

Well, good news (so far...).
Lots of searching on the intraweeb, tried lots of different things (none of which worked), then found someone who advised creating a new admin user, and install the drivers from there (after tidying/removing as before) - and IT WORKED!!!!!!
