Install it the old method, open th ecd up and copy the files over.

If it works, cool, if not yeah, fucked cd.

If I get the error -17 do you think installing the patch 1.31 over will do anything

yes..... seriously....... Currently getting it off limewire but limewire sucks ass, torrents do as well but I figure at least with a torrent I can just leave it on overnight and still be connected to a swarm rather than waking up and its been cut off at 98% like usual.



one that works at least...... with a half decent D/L rate
