Still no luck,  clean install of game , all 5 patches installed, when I run it asks for cd.  I then installed daemon tools light, created an image of cd2, mounted that image , original clean install runs fine. 
Extracted 13 mod to desktop , installed, game runs but crashes to desktop when beginning to play a game . Happens on exhibition as well as season. I was trying the default boston/stl teams, but also tried others as well, no luck.  
I ordered an external usb drive and will do an install from that when I get it.   
I was hoping for a good result, but no luck.  
Will post when I have more info.  
Thanks, 
Pete
