Why am I prompted to enter DVD #2?

When you first install the product it will show all the issue thumbnails in the main window. However, if you click the first issue it will ask you to put in DVD #2, which contains the larger files for the first half of the archive. Older issues are on DVD #1. If you select the option to install all the issues to your hard drive (requires approx 8GB space) you will not be prompted for the DVDs in the future.
