Thanks for the step by step instructions Torpedobait, that’s the sort of assistance I need!
I’ll check the version and download LAA if I have enough RAM, another great bit of advice Capnscurvy.
Do I need to delete the current game file on C drive and reload it into its own folder or can I “migrate” it with a drag and drop? And that’s also where the LAA and any updates I may want to download go, yes?
Keep dodging those DDs.

Depends on a lot of things.
You haven't told us what's your computer OS (Operating System); How much memory do you have? What your game version is?
If you still have a Windows XP system, you can leave it in the Programs folder and the game will run just fine there (with or without additional apps/mods added). With Vista, or Win 7 and later, and you need to have it in it's own folder....
not the "Programs" folder. If you're going to have to move it, just have the OS remove it for you, then restart the installation, making sure you install someplace other than the Programs folder. LAA probably should be put into its own folder too....outside of the Programs folder, but you haven't told us how much memory you have? No need to use the thing if you don't have enough memory to help your game.
When installing, make sure you have these things checkmarked:
You need the DirectX 9.0c and Windows Media 9 Codecs added to your system! No matter what OS system you use.
And the patch is important.....putting your game to the latest version will correct a lot of things......like not needing the disk to be in the DVD player when starting, as version 1.0 required......or only having the metric system when using in-game measurements.
