i have never been so frustrated about a game in my life. i want to play this game so so bad but it just doesn't want to work for me. i have vista premium and i am pretty sure that i have tried all of the tips. ran it in xp compatibility mode, ran as administrator, uninstalledm installed, uninstalled installed, and still did that again about three more times. When i run the game in xp compatibility mode it says that i need to insert the disk, which is obviously already in there. i cannot find this radcle file that they spoke of. i've chosen to view hidden files and the extensions. please if anyone could help it would really make my day. no it would make my year. please anyone. please

What would it take to make you tell us the name of this game? There might be
someone here with experience of getting this particular game to work under
Vista, but without knowing its name, we'd need an oracle first...

And - "this radcle file that they spoke of" - who? When? Why? <reaches for
