thnks for your coments, i managed to get it installed and playing! i installed it into my users folder and it ran as sweet as a nut, the problem was i had a mod already on it, amazon mod. so had to uninstall and re-install! tho i have another problem, i cant save any progress i have made in the game... so it's pretty pointless playing it unless i want to start from the beginning every time, i do the 'show me how' at the advisor and still cant save, any ideas??? it is becoming too much of a hassle playing this mod i must add
