Thanks a lot

that will help out greatly. My brother just upgraded to XP Pro, and just getting Civilization III installed was a challenge. The CD Autorun locked up the machine, but the Right-Click on the CD-ROm drive and selecting "Explore" worked so that we could double-click on the setup.exe program that Autorun was supposed to run. It works in XP, but 2000 knocks the CD-ROM drive out of commission until a reboot is done.
