The above worked and CM runs after letting it see disc 1. On my other PC setup worked fine also had to use disc two for direct x 8.1 but even then I have a starting error D3D8.DLL is linked to missing export. So finally 1 out of two not bad? So now I'll have to try and track down the above problem see if I can get 2 for 2. One thing I noticed on this PC i never got any install shield come up while on the other I did. Sarah.
