Well, I would have if I'd known to do that. The instructions ought to at
least tell you that. But again, I'm confused as to why I need my initial
installation disks in order to install a fix. This is the only software I
know that works this way.

I've seen this with games (yes I'm a gamer). Specifically Mechwarrior
Mercenaries (made by guess who... Microsoft) requires that you insert the
original discs during an upgrade/fix/patch to ensure that you own the game
and have not pirated it. No disc, no joy. And to boot, it has to be the
disc you used to do the install, not a burned copy, or another brand new
game. ie if you lost the disc, and went out and bought the game again,
the upgrade would still fail because of keys on the disc and what was
installed. So you'd have to do a complete uninstall and reinstall in
order to patch/fix.. but I ramble on so ... maybe IBM should be developing
games too.
