OK then here we go.

All the links were still available yesterday (Mon 30-08-10). Went thru the first 10 pages of a search result to find the most popular links. Then visited each forum page where the links were posted from to see if there was any problems with the links. Decided to use the 1st of the links below as it seemed to be the most popular. Would have much prefered the second link as the download was a LOT smaller, but was put off by the size of disc 2 (43.6 MB). After downloading(1 each night) and extracting (iso format) and finding there was no compression, decided to try compressing with winrar just to check on the sizes of the second lot of links, and yes they were comparable. 619 MB to 43.6 MB for disc 2, amazing.

Going on the instructions for installing the first 2 links seem to be the same, with the 1st one uncompressed, the 2nd one compressed.

If possible, it would be good if someone with original discs could make an iso of disc 2 and try the same and let us know if this is correct. Disc 2 was not used during the install and I might never get along far enough for the game to ask for disc 2.

Both downloads contain a WinXP Fix. Follow the instructions and it works. Tried & tested by me. Install on XP without using dosbox or other emulators. Ran well with sound, movies, etc. from the cd. I'll try and post as an attachment for those who already have the game, but not the fix.

This poster seems to have a twin. Could be wrong, but just a feeling i have. Going on the total size, i'd say this one is uncompressed as well.
