All you have to do is create a subdirectory on each computer's harddrive, copy all the files in the CD subdirectory to the HD subdirectory, and then go to the subdirectory on the HD to setup and play the game totally from HD and you do NOT need the CD at all, unless you were to need to reinstall any of the files again. On my old system, I had MUCHO problems trying to play from the CD, especially with regard to sound. BUT after I copied the game to the hard drive, and played directly from the HD, I had no problems playing after that. So even though my new computer could do it, I still would rather run ANY program, game or otherwise, directly from the HD withOUT having to have the CD in the drive. Ralph
