I totally agree with you about them fixing the code, i am glad i found a way to make it work on my computer though. So i had to share about it, so anyone who wants to try it can. I felt i was "just doing my civic duty" (Pirates of the Caribbean anyone?) lol.
By the time i got it working it was close to time to sleep (had work in the morning) so i didn't get to play too far. I ended up spending an hour in the character creator plus an extra 20mins in the "who do you dream of" part. lol pretty much par for the course.
