I have no clue what's going on.

Ok, here's my bizarre tale:

I formatted my hard drive last night and did a clean install of Win2k. In preparation, I compiled a "driver CD" - basically a cd that had drivers for all my hardware.

I also included files that I knew I'd use right away - winzip, and <b>the new Counter-Strike patch</b>.

Anyway, I burned them onto a cd, formatted, and here I am:

First, I try to run the new Detonator drivers program. I get an error message - program too large to fit into memory. This is strange - I've got 512 meg ram and plenty of room for my pagefile (768 meg pagefile on a 60 gig HD). I think perhaps that it can't run it off the CD, so I copy the file to my C drive. Same situation - "program too large to fit into memory."

So I re-download the detonator file from Nvidia's web-site (where I originally got it) and run it. It works fine.

The exact same thing happens with the counter-strike patch. Same error message "Program too large to fit into memory". When I redownload all glorious 80 megs of it, it works fine.

What the heck is going on?

The cd may have gotten screwed up or something- just a guess.

Actually, this is not the first time it has happened - it happened once before with a separate blank CD. I attributed it to a bad CD then, but this is a different CD from a different brand.

If it matters, I burnt both with nero.
