"Did IQs just drop sharply while i was away?" There's a thing called self help. You have the disc so put it in the drive and run the installer and see what happens.

I actually did not have the disc when I asked the question. I ended up purchasing it and it runs fine so far. I should have clarified that. Sorry!

Or, you know, people could be less rude. Either way.

Or, you know, the internet at large could try something then ask for help. Either way.

I supports online play, no activation required. You might want to look at enhanced editions on steam though.

I ended up simply purchasing the game, but thanks for the reply.
