wont finish installing

i installed the game completely put in my verification code and then it went to a patch where its downloading something and goes to "verifying patcher" but just keeps recycling through the download after that why is this? i would like to actually be able to play im using windows 7

Perhaps you have to manually install your patches. I used Windows 7 and had to manually install the patches to my game.

how do you do that im not good with computers

Go to the main website and download the patch files. Once you download them, you open the file and run it. You'll find all the available patches on the Support tab on the website.

Edit: Make sure you download the correct version too, depending on your area.

ok i also get this thing when i click the games desktop icon that says i have to be an administrator to run this and i am one cause this is my comp and i checked to make sure i was and it still does it any ideas?

Right click the file and select the option "Run as administrator", from there you type in the admin password and the file should run.

I just had to reformat and reinstall windows a couple nights ago and I told myself no more windows updates, those things always seem to make something go wrong but what is strange is that when i went to reinstall the Witcher 2 it gave me a cyclic redundancy error, I had just installed the game on like Friday of last week or something and it installed fine. I went and got an external disc drive from downstairs and plugged it in through USB after trying many other methods and the game finally installed.

Now for the relevant part, After finally coming out victorious and getting the game installed it asked me for my CD key and so i put it in and it started patching and the patch just wouldnt install. It kept recycling as someone above me put it, the bar would finish and then it would go again and again and again downloading the same 90,000 kilobytes or whatever. What is strange about this to me is that last week when i installed the game, i use Win 7 64 bit professional, everything went as smooth as could be without a single hitch. After reformatting i bumped into all these problems but luckily I'm a technician and troubleshooting is my life so after messing around a bit I manually installed the patches and now everything is working again thank god >.
