Just so I'm clear (because I sometimes have trouble piecing things together from different parts of the forum): Sunrise's computer is not working right now, which is why he isn't playing, yes? 'Cuz I don't want to hassle him if there's a legit reason for him to not play a vidja-ma-game.

Ok, IT update:
Bad things come in three, right? 
So power went down yesterday as I posted, thought it was only out for a few minutes. I made it home last evening and internet was out, so I assumed the router needed to be reset, blah blah blah, usual stuff.
Unfortunately instead we have the next chapter in Verizon: A Cautionary Tale. As I've posted before, I love the performance of my Verizon FiOS service. I also love the expertise and customer service of tech support staff. Which is good because I have to call the $&#^$ tech support guys every month. I've never had a product that basically maintains near-perfect up time, but when it does stop working perfectly it requires a new 1,000 foot fiber optic cable run. Ir feel like if my desktop bluescreen'd and automatically needed the motherboard replaced. Or car goes too long without an oil change...cracked the engine block
So the newest issue is that fiber cable number four has been buried in my yard. The end of the cable is NOT yet hooked into my FiOS network terminal box. So far so good, except if you're not going to hook in the wire when you bury the cable DON'T CUT THE TEMPORARY CABLE IN HALF.
Anyways, tech is coming out today to fix the problem, so RBP2 and RBP3 SHOULD be up tonight.
RBPBEM4 I can play from work, probably in about three hours when my coworkers have left for the day.

Well, my CD drive has been acting up the last couple of day. I though I had it fixed last night when I got the game to load after messing around with it a bit. Unfortunately, when I tried to play tonite, it's once again not working. I'd ordinarily just play it on my gf's labtob, but right now she and her computer are in Atlanta, while I'm in Illinois...
I'm going to take my comp over to a friends who works on computers either tomorrow or the next day and see if he can get it working for me. Worst case scenareo is my gf will be back Sunday and I can play on her computer.
Again, sorry for holding everything up.

I didn't think BTS (well v3.19) needed the cd/dvd. If you're still stuck you could think about temporarily using a 'no-cd' fixed exe, otherwise good luck with the computer issues.

Yeah, I haven't used the CD in forever. Not sure when I realized I didn't need it, though.

Really?! Uh, ok, will, the computer is being looked at today, and I THINK I'll have it back tonite. If I get it back in time tonite, (hopefully with a working CD Drive, but either way) I'll give that a go.
