thats a bummer, really. what on earth are you gonna do before you get it to work? what if you*gasp*, just thought of something horrible! what if you actually have to *shudder* step out of the house?!?!?!

I would never have the courage...
anyway, where are your bg2 cd's? you havent borrowed them to anyone, have you? you shouldnt risk losing those "artifact level" disks.
