@LadysimPlayer8 Thanks! No, I'm not running in compatibility mode. It doesn't seem to need it on my Windows 7. I don't know why, but I'm glad. So, if I decide to install it on my new Windows 8.1 laptop, I'd need to use compatibility mode? Good to know, because I would have tried to play it directly as I do now on Windows 7. And yeah, that's precisely why I want the discs; so that if something goes wrong (like it previously did), I can do a complete uninstall and then reinstall the game.
It's why I have such a difficult time with companies who push download content and claim that discs are an unnecessary clutter. I sit back and think, "Really? Not to me!" Lol.
