Yet Another Noob With a Plea For Help!

[Skunky]

Hi everybody!

I've been lurking on here for some time now and enjoying it immensely. I've been playing SH3 for about 3 months now and feel that I'm ready to upgrade to the highly-touted GWX....but naturally I'm having a problem and I know that it's because I'm just a bit too long in the tooth to be very proficient in the operation of these confangled computer machines.

I'll try to get to the point here as best I can in hopes that one of you guys can take me by the hand so to speak and help me out. Bear in mind that you will have to talk down to me, as I don't converse well at all in computerese.

I downloaded GWX2 and it currently resides in "my documents". When I go to install it gives me that annoying "you screwed up again, fool" ding sound and greets me with this message "Please insert disk one and click OK"...what does this mean?

I know the answer lies on these pages somewhere and I've tried to find it myself before I hung my head in shame and brought myself before you all...But one thing I have noticed in my lurkings is that you guys are a friendly and patient lot, which is a real rarity in many of these types of forums.

I even have an empty folder waiting on my desktop already labeled and waiting to receive GWX2.0, like I read somewhere to do....but I'm stumped....

I guess I should mention that I have the already 1.4 patched (manual-less) copy of SH3 and am running XP.

There, I've done it and I don't feel quite as bad as I thought I would. Here's hoping one or more of you would be kind enough to help me get hooked up here so that I don't have to do what I did before (abandon hope and go back to figuring I'm doomed to playing stock SH3 for the rest of my life...not that that would necessarily be a bad thing).....It's a bit like resigning myself to eating hamburger because I 'm too stupid to figure out how to unwrap the filet mignon.

Thanks for your time, guys!

(I don't think I'm even worthy of "bilge rat" status)
