I HAD TO INSTALL A NEW HARD DRIVE.

DO I NEED TO RELICENSE THE GAME?

I BACKED UP ON CD/RW AND ALSO INSTALLED ANOTHER HARD DRIVE BEFORE THE ORIGINAL HARD DRIVE WAS REPLACED.
I COPIED ALL GAME FILES TO THE BACK UP DRIVE SO I WOULDN'T LOSE THEM.

WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE TO GET THE GAME BACK ON MY MAIN DRIVE? DO I JUST COPY AND PASTE ALL THE GAME FILES FROM ONE DRIVE TO THE OTHER?

SINCE INSTALLING THE NEW DRIVE, THE SMALLEST PRINT ON THE MESSAGE BOARD IS DIFFICULT TO READ. IT SEEMS TO BE MISSING DOTS CAUSING THE LETTERS TO BE INCOMPLETE. ANY IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS? DELL SUPPORT SPENT 4 HOURS REINSTALLING THE DRIVES. THE MONITOR DRIVE WAS ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO INSTALL. ALL OTHER SCRIPT ON THE MESSAGE BOARD IS FINE...JUST THE SMALLEST SCRIPT IS AFFECTED.

I'M A NEWBIE, SO KEEP IT SIMPLE FOR ME.

THANKS.
