You probably need to do some defragmenting or something.  This whopping 143 MB game takes up 183 MB on my disk.  I AM running NTFS formatting, but then, all windows XP machines should be.

don't count on it.  I bought a notebook (which I ended up returning in disgust), sony brand.  The setup was XP home, the disk partitioned 60/40 FAT32/NTFS, with the boot and everything on the FAT32 partition.

Worse, since it is bloody "recovery" disks, not install media, there is no real way to change the formatting.

As I have a notebook, numpad + does not exist.  Is there another key combo to leave battle?

If not, remappable keys are pretty essential, esp if I will want to get the Shofixi later in the game
