Dude, how are you?. ABout your problem with the installation, I had a similar
problem with another game and after HOURS of head scratching and spending an undisclosed sum of money due to myself, I stumbled on the cause of, and indeed to solution to my problem in one of the knowledge base articles. Quite simply its a problem with the CDROM drive and it is easily fixed. All you have to do is to disable DMA for the CDROM and enable PIO. I did this and "Bobs your Uncle" it was all sweet after that. Now I am not saying this is going to help you for sure, but it costs NO MONEY and is easy to do, its just a few mouse clicks away  , and its definatley worth a try. Anything thatdosnt cost you money is has to worth it right ?. If you are stuck on how to disable DMA let me know or look it up in your help or the knowledge base. regards paul anthony "nate224" wrote: > > > "Jimmy S." wrote: > > > Hi Nate, > > > > From the filename, it appears that the file is the final scene of Act 2 > > and is missing from your installation.
