I have tried to install the program on my
harddrive, I get a data transfer error -113 or maybe -133. Clueless!

All that means is that it could read some data from the CD. Check for finger prints or obvious scratches. Next make sure you're running 32-bit CD drivers (right-click on My Computer, select properties, then performance). It should say Optimum Performance or something similar. If worst comes to worse, manually copy the contents of the \programs folder to a new folder on your HD (like c:\alpha). You can copy the \voice, \fx, and/or \movies folders into that same folder to improve those area's performance.

Some guy on usenet it may be trying to copy a file called uninst.exe to your c:\windows folder and it's read-only. Try unchecking that property.
