Trouble installing Borderlands (help please)

[Ragnarok]

I've made a couple of attempts at installing this and each time the installer has gotten hung up while "checking for AMD driver update (if applicable)".  The computer goes silent (no disk spin or HD movement) and the progress bar stays empty.  I've left it for 30 minutes and come back without any change.  I have an AMD 4400+ dual core and am running Win 7 64.  Any suggestions?  I'll have to check again but I'm pretty sure I have all the drivers updated.

try compatability mode. i don't really know. i use steam now

I don't even know why it would be checking amd drivers, those aren't even needed really. unless it's confusing amd with ati. do you have an ati card? i've never seen a game check your mobo drivers lol.

Installing AMD processor driver(if applicable)...

That is the exact message.  So its not checking(my bad), just trying to install a driver? wtf.

I have a 7800GTX card as well.

Ok, thanks anyway.

This fixed it:

"Copy the contents of your DVD to your hard drive. We're going to install it from your hard drive now, but before we do, we need to make a change (something we couldn't do on the DVD.)

Go into the Prerequisites folder and delete the amdcpusetup.exe. Then make a copy of the vcredist_x86.exe and call that file 'amdcpusetup.exe'. Be careful not to just rename the original vcredist_x86.exe, but copy it first and then rename it. This way, the installer will think it is installing the amd drivers but will really just re-install the vcredist."
