@Beejay: Without wanting to annoy you, not buying a drive capable of, at least, reading DVD's is quite nonsense today. CD/DVD reader-writer-rewriter combo drives are very cheap today, even brand ones. And, for that money, you get support for DVD's, a media that is more than six times larger and about ten times faster than a CD and that is extremely useful for general backup purposes, as well. (F*ck, I don't want to imagine what we would be doing with our multi-Gigabyte DB2 databases if we had to archive them onto CD's! ) [Edit] Also, when you bought the game, you read the minimum system requirements, which included a DVD drive, so there's not really a point in complaining...

You say you are new here but you also say you have read this forum for a long time, and you mean to say that you never noticed GLH is a Moderator here!?
