You mention two different things, dorish… downloading and running. I might be able to help quickly here, but I need to know exactly what you have done so far. Otherwise, the Glitches forum might be your best bet.

"Downloading" is the process of getting the file on your computer. It sounds like you've already completed that part.
The file you need on your computer is called Dark Fall - Ghost Vigil - Setup - V1.02.zip
Once you have the Dark Fall - Ghost Vigil - Setup - V1.02.zip file on your computer, use your favorite unzipping utility to extract the files. For example, 7-zip, WinZip, WinRAR, or even Windows itself can all extract the file. If you double-click a zip file in Windows, it will show you the contents of the zip file, but won't actually extract it until you tell it to. I find it easier to use 7-zip to extract files than to use Windows, but it's up to you what program to use.
You should get the following three files after extracting the zip file: Dark Fall - Ghost Vigil - Setup.exe Dark Fall - Ghost Vigil - Setup-1.bin Dark Fall - Ghost Vigil - Setup-2.bin
These files should all be in the same folder for the installation to work. Double-click the Dark Fall - Ghost Vigil - Setup.exe file to start the installation.
Once installed, the game should be ready to run. You may see the option to run the game appear at the tail end of the installation.

Did you extract the files, meaning did you unzip the file? They won't work until you do. Right click the file named DarkFall - Ghost Vigil - Setup - v1.02.zip and select Extract all. The zipped files will automatically be moved to a new Unzipped file in your Downloads folder.

I have those . Should I open a
new folder and put all of them into it ? setup bin 1 and 2 are showing VCL media --like a pylon . what should I do with those? Don't click on the .bin files directly. They're just storage for the .exe. You can put the extracted files into a new folder if you want, but when you run the .exe it will install the game folder to C:\Program Files (x86) by default no matter where you run the installer from. When I ran the installer, it left a game shortcut on my desktop to start the game with.

The first thing to try is to reboot, wait a few minutes for Windows to finish its background loading, and then try starting the game again. Rebooting seems to solve a number of mysterious problems. When I start the game, the first thing it does is display a window asking about my screen resolution. When I accept what it detected, I get a black screen for maybe a minute while my hard drive light flashes. Eventually I hear the game and it shows the Shadow Tor promo and loads the Main Menu. Anyway, try rebooting first. If that doesn't work, try right-clicking the game shortcut and Running as administrator. If that doesn't work, we'll have to check your specs, and if you meet the specs, you may need to add the game exe to your antivirus' exclusions list. Maybe Draclvr will have more ideas. These are the system requirements: (listed at http://darklingroom.co.uk/darkfallgames/darkfallghostvigil/ ) Launch OS: Windows 7, 8, 10 Processor: 3.0 Ghz (intel Core i3 or equivalent or higher) Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: 1 GB nVidia Geforce GT460 or equivalent DirectX: Version 9.0c Upwards Storage: 6 GB available space - TBC Sound Card: DirectX Compatible Audio Launch Language: English Mouse Controlled. Keyboard Control. Controller Control Compatible. Additional Notes: Wide Screen monitor required.

I too have gotten that "game is not responding" message. And my computer exceeds the hardware specs by a good deal. When you got that blank screen in the beginning, did you click on it thinking something was wrong because it wouldn't go away? That's when I got the error message.
So assuming your computer meets the hardware requirements, just be patient while the blank screen is there. Mine stays for 20 seconds. I wish there was SOMETHING to indicate that the game is loading rather than a blank screen.
Here are the required specs:
OS: Windows 7, 8, 10 Processor: 3.0 Ghz (intel Core i3 or equivalent or higher) Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: 1 GB nVidia Geforce GT460 or equivalent DirectX: Version 9.0c Upwards Storage: 6 GB available space - TBC Sound Card: DirectX Compatible Audio

I just received an email with the link to my downloads it was now listed.... walkthrough for you to click on. Just started the game yesterday afternoon.
Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody Gibran
