If you want to avoid using the CD, you need some spare HD space. Get Alchohol 120% (or 52%), CloneCD, or the like and make an image of the SF CD. Then you can use those programs or Daemon Tools (free) to act as a virtual CD. SF will accept that.

Thankd for the tip. Used CloneCD and Daemon Tools and everything worked fine.

Make sure to update the drivers and the Direct X on your PC.

Actually, the system that works less well is the one that was recently upgraded to Direct X 9.0.

You're not running the debug DirectX libraries are you? Go to control panel, then DirectX, then the Direct3D tab; if Debug is selected, switch it to Release; you only need the Debug library if you're writing your own games and need to test them.
