If your room mate's computer doesn't have a CD-R drive or some other way to transfer them to your laptop you may have a problem. The Static folder and subfolders contain 1.6GB of data; too much for email

Can you try just copying the files to the hard drive from Windows Explorer? That might work better than zipping right from the CD. Maybe not, but worth a try. Did you buy the game locally from someplace that has demo computers? If so, they should be willing to try installing the game, and replace it (if it was bought recently) if the CD is defective.

My crc file contains the name and path for all of the game files, so you can re-construct the locations from there. Once the old forum is up, there are a couple posts with the manual install procedure, which you can also get by contacting CDV.
