No... it's still not working. Though now the problem's changed. I completely reinstalled SoA, and then installed ToB without doing ANYTHING to SoA... and NOW it gives me an Illegal Operation message when I try to start the game.
BGMAIN caused an exception 10H in module OLEAUT32.DLL at 015f:653bb045.

That sort of thing. Though the .DLL file and the specifics of it vary. It's been doing it for ages... and I've reinstalled Windows at leastonce since then. Doubt it's a windows thing though - everything else works... Leaving me thinking there might be a fault on the CD
I've sent all this stuff to many-a-tech support email address though. I'll see what they think.
Maybe I'll...... "borrow" my dad's laptop and try it on that.
