    If you just copy it from one box to another you will most likely have problems playing online because of missing registry entries.
    Really? Never had this happen, I think the only problem I've seen from this manuever is if you download a paid expansion it won't recognize that it's installed. Have you seen the online play issues? What happens? Got my curiousity up, lol. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
    It only happens on UBI GameService...
    but then, that's where most players go first, until they learn about Hyper.

    GS will not find the game and say game is not installed... You would need to re-install or edit the registry directory entry by hand.

    Hyper will work because it does not rely on the game directory entry in the windows registry if you point it to the game by hand instead of auto-searching.
    You do learn something new every day with this series - even after all these years...

    I would hazard a guess it's the same OS, but a very valid question I for one over looked...

    Do any other CDs work in that drive?

    My first impression is the CD-ROM wasn't plugged in properly to the new motherboard.
