Nick,

If you look on the TTD CD, you will find a subdirectory called Harddrive
or something similar - in this subdirectory is the complete game to be
run totally and completely from a subdirectory of your harddrive. 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.
