My guess is that the game is wired to look for and operate from the the cd first, despite the facts that it now has the capability to run on the computer alone and I have a saved game somewhere in my folder. Now, when I try to play the game with the cd, it works but my saved game still isn't there. Then I exited, and the problem is I can't get back to my game because regardless of whether I use the shortcut on my desktop, TRTauto.exe in the folder, or game.exe in the folder, I get a message that tells me to insert the cd or exit the game. I could access anything on the menu, navigate, talk to people nothing looked or sounded like there was a problem. I did all of this, and the game started up immediately. When all the files have copied, start the installation from the folder, not the cd, and change the installation path so the game installs to that same folder (the default for older games creates a file outside of Program Files, which causes problems on Windows 7 computers). To do this, you copy all the files from the cd into a folder you create wherever you store your Nancy Drew games (for me, this was C:\Program Files (x86)\Nancy Drew\Treasure in the Royal Tower). I read on another post that it's possible to alter the installation process on the older games so they will run without the CD once they're installed.
