    Hey all,

    Been reading an old review of Icewind Dale and that got me in the mood for playing the game again. It took me a while to find the CD's, but the installation appeared to be without any trouble and a little while later I was playing through the first few quests in Easthaven.

    When I indicated to Hrothgar that I was ready to leave for the expedition, the game crashed to a blue screen with the message "Media removed from drive, insert Icewind Dale disc 2", while disc 2 was still in the drive. I backed up my save files and reinstalled, making sure I did a full install, but it still didn't work. Another forum thread suggested that I should copy all the cd files manually to one directory and try to reinstall from there, and that's when I noticed some data files on cd 2 were corrupt: MVEfile1.bif (which I suspect is the file that the game is trying to load after leaving Easthaven), MVEfile2.bif and SNDVO.bif. They are probably damaged, there are a few minor scratches on the cd and I couldn't copy them to my hard drive.

    My question: is it possible to get these three files from someone else - someone of you, perhaps - by e-mail or in the form of a download? I know it might sound fishy, but I can assure you I have bought the game in the past and it's just these three files I need. They are in the data folder on CD 2 and the combined size is approx. 300 Mb.

    EDIT: Actually, never mind. There is no guarantee it will work and/or won't cause any more problems in the future. I also noticed I haven't got HoW yet, so I just bought the package from GOG. :)
