Hey all, wow I can post again, sweeeet. Just wanted to say that after this weekend, I can truly apologize to all of the great developers of this game, (wink wink). I am sure everyone remembers my less than graceful appearance towards the end of last week on this forum. Well alas, I am a moron. After totally deleting everything related to this game I went to SDC and downloaded the entire thing, almost eight hours on dial up. Needless to say, when I checked the status at 4 am, there was an error locating the media, I guess, to drive E. Well, the download was a total botch, as I could find no game files anywhere. I reinstalled my retail version, went back to SDC and downloaded whatever was left to update, and, presto, the game has run flawlessly ever since. I have no clues, no answers, no nothing. All I know is this game rocks, as I have always said. But again, to all of you who read my posts, and to those newbies who don't know about me yet, I was harsh unnecessarily. I apologize to all and recommend this game to any of you, despite any glitches you may have. Work through it, and persevere, because this game is worth whatever hell you may go through to play it!
