In all seriousness you may be having the same problem I had when I tried to re-install the game today.

It goes into the DVD drive not the CD drive.

Also try waiting a day or two.
Sometimes computers just get cranky.

It seems that Macs have this same problem.

The real answer may have to do with sub-atomic physics.
And atomic particles that we don't yet understand.

Glad you got it working.
