"Windoze 7" disturbs me. For one, nobody seems to be bothered to bash it, which immediately raises my suspicions. It seems inconceivable that a new Windoze can exist that runs everything perfectly, so the credibility of all these early reviewers is immediately suspect. I suspect they all drank the Kool-Aid. There is simply no possible way NOTHING can be wrong.
*Thinks back about Oct-Dec 09* OH MY GOD YOU'RE RIGHT!!1one I just like to say 7=Vista and it pisses everyone off. ;D

No, .reg files from one OS aren't going to work on another.
If you absolutely cannot use the discs (are you playing on a netbook? Because that's a Bad Plan), you'll either need to make ISOs of them on a different computer and transfer via USB stick or portable hard drive, or download them via torrent. In either case you'll have to install Daemon Tools on the current one (it's free) so it can read those ISOs and allow you to install.
No, I'm not running on a netbook (what do you think I am, crazy?), it's just that the discs are hardly in mint condition and I've lost some registration codes. Which of the two methods would be easier?

Pardon, but I lack the telepathic skills necessary to determine sanity across the Internet. Anyway...
Best method depends on your experience with torrents, how fast your connection speed is, if you have a bandwith cap, and what kind of software you're most comfortable fiddling with. If you've never done either before, it's going to be a bit of a pain in ass no matter which you choose, but in that case I'm inclined to say that getting ISOs from torrents is a bit more user-friendly than ripping them yourself and finding keygens for the EPs that your keys have gone missing for. Game torrents usually have keys with them.
Assuming you haven't done this before, uTorrent is a good client if you don't already have one; torrent services depend on where you can find the torrents you want (Google helps). I strongly suggest reading the uTorrent FAQ. ISOs come in split RAR files, so make sure your unpacking program can handle those. The rest, IME, is trial and error and finding FAQs when you get stuck.

Well, guess I have to learn how to ARR ;). I don't have my computer with me now (I'm using a sucky Windows Vista), but I'll be sure to try this out when I get it back. Thank you for the help!
ETA: It turns out that after I cut my Downloads folder from 160 MB to 35 MB, the game ran fairly well and stopped crashing constantly, so know I wish to ARR a stuff pack. I'm trying to download uTorrent on my XP, but the Hotbar engine that allows access to the site is not installing correctly. Do I need to have uTorrent and Daemon Tools on the same computer on which I plan to install the stuff pack, or can I install them on a different computer? Also, do uTorrent and Daemon Tools have to be on the same computer as each other?

Sucky. Windows. Vista.
>:( Vista does not suck1!!11oneshift+one! Sure it has its flaws, but that does not mean we must hate it. I mean, XP ha(d/s) flaws. And "no one" hates XP. ::)
ETA:
Perhaps I don't hate it because I made the UAC sound GLaDOS saying "Good people, do not end up here." :D
