Yep. The XPCap Remover you're after can be found at the TeamBG site. Download it from there on to a floppy disk - it's only 20Kb so it'll easily fit. Winzip can be downloaded from here. Install Winzip on your computer, right-click on the programme to install etc, then "unzip" the XPCap Remover to what ever folder you like and copy/paste it to the override folder, or unzip it directly to the override folder instead.

Run the game as normal, and all should be well. Make sure you take the necessry backup of your files as I mentioned above. Also, save your "saves", as uninstalling the game will not remove the Black Isle folder on your computer, and your saves may well be there if you reinstall the game. The problem? If you corrupt the game for any reason, it may the stored within the data of your saves so have a copy ready to cut and paste back over.

I'm sure most people never have any problem with these tools, but you never know. Hope that helps.

BTW to unzip a zipped file, right-click on the file in question, and the menu will give you several options to follow. Use extract to... which will unzip the file where you've saved the XPCap download to. Open it and copy/paste into the override. If you know most of this already, then sorry.
