My DVD worked as well as the CD's did. Of course it was before the patch
.... so.... the date issue comes into play when useing the DVD.

I had just never heard of a .bmp file causeing an install to completely hang
or fail. I mean heck.... put one of those big red X's up there that we are
already used to seeing and go on.....
