    I have the 2 disc game.

    It's been almost years since I've played through this game. I just reciently got an urge to try it again, so I installed it. I then proceeded to do that trick with copying the files from the CD to speed up the gameplay (plus to cu down on the obnoxious noises of my CDROM) but I ran into a problem. When I try to copy the file AR1800.cbf I get some kind of MSDOS error or somthing (odd because this my OS is XP) and I can't copy the file. The other files copied fine.
    I tried to copy the CD to see if that would help, but then I would get CRC errors on the file.

    Is there anyone who can send me this one file? I don't think there would be anything illegal about this, I don't know.
    You can email it to me or host it somwhere, I would greatly appreciate the help.

    Is your computer at least somewhat modern? I never had any gameplay speed problems and never did this trick.

    My gameplay speed has never ben a problem, my problem is the CD has somthing wrong with it and I can't get the file... I figured out it's the area of TNO's journal room in the catacombs. When I go into this room, It tells me to enter the CD, even though it's in the drive. I'd like to contiue, so I hope I can get the file soon.

    I've got AR1800.bif, but this is from the 4 CD version of the game. I assume .cbf is compressed bif, so I'm not sure if my uncompressed file would do you any good...

    How big is the file?
    When I look at the INI settings, it lists locations for cd's 1-4. Maybe the game still has the capacity to read the older files.
    Try to zip or rar it, see if it's a decient size and try sending it my way. I'd really like to continue the game.

    It probably shouldn't be an issue, try throwing it in the override dir.

    If Tal's file doesn't work, check your email. I have the 2CD version and the file with precisely the name you mentioned. It's almost 4 megs, so if you don't need it you might want to delete my email without downloading it.

    Help, I have the same problem -- 2 CD version and ar1800.cbf both crashes the game and won't copy from the CD. I decided to do a full install and found that ar2000.cbf also won't copy. Can someone send me copies of those files? Thanks a lot.

    I registered just to make a topic like this, actually. I too have the 2-CD version. My bad files are AR 405.cbf, AR903.cbf, and AR1400.cbf.

    Well, I only have the 4 CD version, so someone else will have to play the good Samaritan...
