Ok, I found something I didn't find before. When I put the disk in previously, I told it to open the files, then I right clicked the setup file, and then I ran the compatibility tester thing on it from that menu. For some reason this time when I put the disk in I did all the same except the last part. When I right clicked on setup file, instead of clicking the compatibility tester, I clicked on properties and lo and behold, there was the selection for compatibility mode. Now, I went into that and selected to run in XP sp3 and then went ahead with the installation. It took longer and a couple screens were kind of strange looking. When it finished, it wanted to restart the computer, which was different, so I thought I was really on to something good. Unfortunately, when I tried to open it again, it did not work... and then it almost didn't want to uninstall for me either. I asked it to uninstall and it wanted to install instead. Finally was able to get it out of there. Thinking that finding that compatibility mode selection might be a good thing for me, just not sure I used it right the first try?
