Thankyou so much for trying to help me, DABhand. I still have the same problem. I tried to reinstall it and everything, but it's just not going to do anything without the disc. I tried not bothering with shortcuts and tried to open straight from .exe file. Nothing

Never mind, I'll just use the disc for this one. But I have switched off those annoying pop up windows now, which has to be a positive
Thanks so much for taking the time with me. I really do appreaciate it very much!
Cheers.
