I can't answer the idiot bit ......
but if you followed the above it should work .... it does for me & I'm sure many others.....
Those other 2 files you mentioned you dont need - just open them with notepad or wordpad & the group that cracked the files usually give you instructions on what to do / who they are etc........
Just out of interest - Did you select a "Full Install" at the beginning when you reinstalled the game. The game gives you 2 options 1: Full Install 2: Minimum install.
You must always select Full Install (if your using a No CD Fix) otherwise in most cases ( & for this game) the videos are left on the CD. So when you go to start the game & it goes to run its intro, it will ask for the CD because you did not select full install.
I got a funny feeling you may have selected minimum install.....
