Vampire the masquarade redemption on win7

Hi Guys,

I have a problem with this game (a problem I dont remmber having before, even on this same machine and OS...).

The game is a pain in the butt to install (CD version) on the win7 OS, but once it is installed (did by burning the image of the original CD 1 with daemon tools, then installing with compatibility mode XP, CD2 was not required to burn), CD number 2 is not recognized. I tried burning this CD as well, but so far to no effect (not sure if it would have to be on a specific folder or HDD).

Bare in Mind I am using the original version CDs, and the only reason why I dont buy the GoG.com version is because I dont want to up any personal data online (Hate it and I limit this as much as possible), and in fact if it was on steam, Id get it right away again.

I tried to find out a txt file that would specify where the game searches for the CD 2 to check if it is searching in the wrong place, but so far no luck.

Also, a final thing, the game is installed by all means, but I dont know how to uninstall it (to try again). It does not appear on the control panel where i usually clean up games I dont play anymore.

Thanks for your help !

P.S. I did search on google this problem and I have noticed some people use cracked versions of the exe file to get it running. I want to avoid using that, especially since my game is legit.
The win7 is 64 bit btw.
