Thanks!

Yeah, I noticed that also. I'm not sure what files triggers the CPU message but as I stated before, ProtectionID states that the game has no know protection on it and the game seems to work fine without the original CD thanks to Felar Furlong post, although I do get an annoying message stating that some features of the game will not funtion properly without the CD or a Full install even with a Full install.
