Thanks, Rose. I'd better look into the jumper question when I tried the external drive trick.

But now, while installing Nightlife...

"Failed to find and DirectX9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectX9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate."

Added: If anyone with the same problem finds this message and is wondering what to do, see my next note below.

Added: The VisionTek site insists that the VisionTek Radeon 3850 graphics card is DirectX 10 compatible.
