Here is my problem...

I bought a new computer with Vista, but when I loaded all the expansions and stuff packs up to BV I kept getting an error message when I started the game. It said "Please insert the orginal disc and not a backup."

Now, my BV is the original disc, and it did work on my old computer with Windows ME. So I took BV off and Seasons works just fine. I tried reinstalling it, got the same message, and have since taken it off. When Free Time came out I borrowed a friend's copy just to see if it would work (because I am not paying $30 for something that won't run on my computer) and I GOT THE SAME MESSAGE!

So will the above mentioned fix work for Bon Voyage as well? Or is it just that I am doomed to never install any Expansion past Seasons on my computer again?
