I had the same problem as you Mark but under Win98. I took the game back to the store because the disk 1 would not start up. With the 2nd game it was no different. I got it to install via the explorer after my 4th attempt but then it would like play for half an hour, lock up the PC and not play after the restart. I got fed up after 4 days. I surfed through the net and it seems the BS 3 forums are filling with people that have the exactly same problem. Apparently it is a copy protection issue with Securom (THQ is responsible for Revs software.)
To cut a long story short: I had to get a small game crack which I had to install over the installed bs3.exe. Now I can play the game straight from the hard drive. That means it starts with no problems, and it hasn't crashed once since.
