Oh, I see! Both my drives are CD\DVD recorders but I might try that in the future (I'm keeping a RTF file with all the tips I've found 
).As it turned out, I didn't have to try out that other computer I was thinking of. I remembered I could ask someone to use her computer. She was running XP and the game loaded at once. All I had to do was borrow her portable HD for 5 minutes and transfer the folder to my computer.
It worked!!!
(I least I'm hoping it won't crash later on! LOL!)
Thank you so much for your help and good luck in finding a new CD2!
