For whoever wonder what the difference are between the 4 and 2 CD version, i found this from the official TLJ forums:

b! [/ F$ D8 F/ n% YThe 4 CD version has some problems with WinXP and newer soundcards, it was written about 5 years ago, for Windows 95. It was targeted at a Pentium 75 with a 4x CD-ROM, something that hardly anyone has these days. + h' g$ U9 y8 P& G* y
+ s' s, K- G6 XThe 2 CD version compresses sound much more (this is mostly how we managed to get it down to 2 CDs), which requires more computing power to play it. The sound library has been replaced with audiere, a newer library that works better with new sound cards, and the game has been compiled to work with newer versions of Windows.

We removed the low-res videos to save a little space, and made the installer a little easier (only to installation options) to reduce the complexity of it.

The original 2CD version has a problem with that new sound library (some sounds play as static), which is fixed by a patch you can find on this webpage. - Y4 s& |6 A4 H& p; D' H0 t' @
" A( M @; b, T, RIt's pretty expnsive to be selling 4CDs in the shop, a 2CD version was necessary to be able to continue selling the game. It's only available in english at the moment, any other languages are sold as 4 CDs.

( b) J! l i- rAnd as a personal note, if youre danish/swedish/possible other countries that got the original 4 CD release made by the same manifacturer, the game are now actually playable too, no crashing every 2nd time it try to load a movie due to BAD quality CDs. 7 |6 w% j: `- [* _! T
Know 4 people apart from me who bought it, all of us had to take copies of our original game and play from the copies to be able to play it :) # i1 Z# _$ u0 Y0 F9 B0 H4 d5 J2 c9 N+ y
