have you unblocked darkspace.exe in your firewall?
I do forget what ports it uses. My firewall right now says anywhere 1281 to 1258 locally. But I don't know for sure.

Did you download the correct install?
If you did, you may need to configure your router/firewall to allow access to DS.
For future reference, the port DS uses is 9001.
