    Does anyone know how to get it to work? My parents are going to be doing some world traveling soon, and my dad wanted to load it on his X40. Problem is, the language disc's have to be in the drive. Short of making a virtual drive i cant find a way to install the language packs into the actual application, and i dont think he wants to carry the dock with him.

    Kinda irritating when their anti-piracy policy(the reason why i assume this is so hard) does nothing to stop pirates, but rather makes it harder for legit customers to use the program.

    A virtual drive is the only solution I can think of. Fortunately DaemonTools and Alcohol52% are free.
