Got a new system with Window 7 and install of game failed after 20 minutes of loading (when you put Disk 1 back in to finalize it). I think a scratched disk 1 may be the culprit. So, I tried again using my sons disks, but now I'm getting a "can't install because there is a newer version already installed". Can't Uninstall because the game doesn't show up in the list of programs. So, I'm in a catch 22 and not sure what to do. I beleive I may need to remove from registry, but can't locate it there either!! Anyone ran into this or had troubles installing because it thinks the game has sucessfully installed (but didn't)?

Had the same problem on my new office PC with WIN 7. Installed, didn't work, uninstalled, now can't reinstall at all. Some error about the library.

That's what I did (even before seeing your post!) and that worked. The restore took care of clearing out the registry, which is where I knew the problem lied! For all you that may convert to Windows 7.......INSTALL USING XP mode and have a Flash player installed first!! Thanks for the input gang!! I am back with upgrades!!

Yeah, it was a little goofy to get running under Win7. Disable autorun, manually install from the executable, and use XP compatibility. Tweaked a couple things here & there, but it runs fine under 7.
