lol at people thinking OP is referring to DVDs wearing out in a year. (definitely NOT what he meant.) I had to use a crack for a while, too, but I bought a 1946 DVD a couple of years ago to do a fresh install because I couldn't find the FB disc (I did as soon as I finished re-installing the game) and I haven't ever needed the disc present with this install.
I hate having to leave discs in drives, and not because it wears out the discs - lol.
