Are you trying to add cars, tracks or mods from internet? If so, then just extract the downloaded file, in it, you'll find a .ar file, place it in MM2 folder and run the game. If this does not help, try the search function to search this forum.

Your post isn't so clear. Now you've got a disc copy of the game, so, delete the one that you've got from the Internet, that's surely a ripped copy with a folder with the game files in it. Install the game from the disc and, as you've done before with the downloaded copy, put the downloaded mods and add-ons in the main game folder. They have to work.

First: You Should run the game at least once before installing mods.
Second:Don't install a lots of mods otherwise your game will crash
third:if you're using windows 7 click run as admin.
if not helpful,then post a pic,thanks.

LOL, then you didn't get the concept. Your file will usually come as .zip; .rar or .7z. If it is .zip you can just extract it using windows, if it is .rar or .7z you have to get 7zip. When extracted there should be a file called something.ar. Place that one in the mm2 folder.

MM2RULZ, you're staring to create some problems here, please don't make another topic about the same problem that this topic already talks about, and don't do multiple posts... Also, be clear with your posts, you're making all the thing harder to understand...

Back in topic, how's absolutely possible that you aren't able to delete a folder with the game files in it? Obviously you haven't to have that game copy running on to be able to do this, and it has to be the copy that you've downloaded, but that you still haven't specified if it's just the folder with the game files in it, without the installer, I assume that's so.
When you download a mod or add-on for the game, it's placed in an archive, that's in these file formats with these extensions: .zip, .rar an .7z. Download here 7Zip program and install it to be able to open them all. After installed hte program, just double click on the downloaded archive, 7Zip program will launch with the file opened. Open the game folder too, the default install directory is C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Midtown Madness 2. Now, return to 7Zip window, click on the file with the .ar extension present in it, and while keeping pressed with the left mouse button on the file icon, drop it in the game folder window previously opened. The file is extracted where it has to be. Close the program, the fodler window and run MM2 to try what you've downloaded. How there can be problems in doing this easy operation?
And of course, you haven't to burn on a disc anything...
