Wow, it still isn't cooperating!? Reinstalls are kind of the last-resort, solve-everything solution. I'm not really sure what else you can do, but I'll take a shot at it.
1) Try cleaning your CD.
2) Try another reinstall with that CD.
3) Try borrowing a buddy's copy.
Kind of grasping at straws here; pardon me for asking obvious questions. Have you unzipped and installed (not merely downloaded) the patch?
