Here's another (more legal) thing to try. Might even give the same result. I found this on Bethesda's forums. Apparently, we Linux users aren't the only ones having difficulty with copy protection (if that is in fact where our problem lies). It would seem that some XP/Vista users are having the same issue. Within the post (which you can find below), is a link to download a patched .exe file for the game. Might be worth looking into. :)

Let's try using these, see if we get a similar (or different) result. :)
