Bart's PE Builder is software you use to create a windows live CD, like the Live ERD CD that you can reset Admin passwords on 2000/XP servers and PC's. You can select what software you want to add to the CD/DVD like antivirus, CD-Burning software etc.

I've just re-installed XP Pro, have not yet installed any service packs (and never have before, with no problems)but have installed several of the security updates that pertain to my system. Seeing as this game is (I think) older than sp1, that shouldn't really be an issue.

I personally hate this service, after I picked up Half Life 2 and installed it, I had to create a new user account, register my CD Key, get updates installed (thank goodness I got broadband), and I had to wait for my files to get decrypted.
