Thanks for your response, RMS -

Actually I finally got it to work by using the second CD drive on my
machine.

Everything works great now . . . except for my mouse.  For some reason
I can't assign pitch to my mouse directions.  I click on the pitch I
want, slid my mouse a few times in the direction I wanted, but it
didn't take the assignment.  But this is minor as I can assign the
pitch back to keys on my keyboard.

I must say, even after several years, this game still rocks!  ; )

BTW, I thank Mr. Moon for his website.  I've used it a lot when I have
been stumped.
