The infamous Decompression Error, again

from Stardock Forums

Okay folks, I've tried downloading Dead Space.  I think it succeeded, but when they game tried to install it, I got the Decompression Error message.  I changed the extract directory, but still get the same message.  I've been trying to figure out how to redownlaod it, but can't seem to mind the method.  The Application Data\Stardock\Impulse\Temporary\

DownloadQueue, ExtractedFiles, and PreloadData are all empty.  The new extract folder I Have is empty.

I can't find a reference to Dead Space any where.  So, I can't seem to redownload the game nor clear out any past references.  Is there some place I need to look that I've missed?

 

Update:  I had to completely quit Impulse and it is now redownloading again.  We'll see if it works this time, some 4 or so hours later.

Where did you set your download directory to?  Generally, selecting the root of a drive works best, as Impulse will create a its own directory to use there.  Make sure this is the option you've changed:

I stook it to D:\SD decompress.  I'll see if it works this time.

It finally installed, but then I got, "could not initialize display hardware."  I have a good reach beyond minimum spec.  Then I also read that you can't map keys unless you use a hex editor.  At this point  I just uninstalled the game and took it for a loss.
