• don't top post; scroll to the end.
• your keyboard seems to be missing keys, could that be the cause?
• are you perhaps trying to install/link TO the CD? If you have the space, copy the contens of the CD over to your filesystem, and try from there. I would not know anything else, network linking errors were common and some common errors on newer versions can be checked on Werner Puschitz' website at http://www.puschitz.com/ Maybe your solution is on there, too
