its okay, i didn't need help about the illegal US version, that works fine (i guess its because there is no starforce which is good
) and I dont think there is anything wrong with downloading another (workable) version when I already have 2 copys of the game myself, which I have paid for. Its almost like downloading a patch.
However in future if I decide to play the game again, I would like to use my copy of the game. So if anyone finds a way to get past this problem, let me know
... my OS version is XP SP3 btw.
