I followed your steps and it still wasnt successful , ive tried cleaning it and running Adaptec's Scandisc Program........the cd is scatched up and even those 2 programs didnt fix it. I destoyed those 2 backup copies. So if the next idea is to buy a new copy then forget that idea. I dont trust internet money transfer. When you said that you dont understand how my original CD had become corrupt there is most likely a difference in our two CDs. So if you got anymore ideas than let me know......(I know what you meant by breaking the EULA.)
so if youre mad about me getting mad than im sorry
i shouldnt act that rude sorry man..........
