Yep, the downloaded option. I only have the 7.5 Disc that came with
my 7500 card last year. Heh, still remember it being received on the
day Episode 2 came out .

Hmm, OK. I just ordered the latest Instilation CD Rom...but geeze, you'd
think they'd have a cheaper shipping option like Amazon.com, considering
how big the company is..

I'll probably reformat my drive for a fresh install once I burn all my TV
shows
to DVD Disk. Got about 6 files, and 20GB's worth of stuf to get through .

Unfortunatly, it won't recognize the ATI format in Ulead DVD Factory 2.0 .
and
I don't know how to properly convert it.
