I believe that i will use your tip in regard to avoidance of the run CD for Microsoft streets and tips 2002.I was wondering if an individual had all run cd copied to their computer. The program would still look for the run cd. Is their a way that the saved Run cd files could be used to run the program or would it just be possible if you reinstalled and full installed again to avoid the use. This is probally a stupid question and not sure if you even answer questions...but no harm in trying... later....I think it is a valuable site...take care...
