Does anyone have an e-mail address for Electronic Arts?

I have DVideo, and it seems the Maker Key diskette is bad.  When I try to 
run DVideo from it, it's supposed to check some registration number on 
the disk (method of copy protection I think) but I get an 

	"Insert disk 'ORIGINAL DISK THEN CANCEL' in any drive"

requester instead...

I tried ASSIGNing 'ORIGINAL DISK THEN CANCEL' to the actual diskette, but 
this didn't work either.  I also noticed that when I tried to make a 
copy of the original Maker Key diskette (as instructed in the manual) it 
gave me an error on a certain block on the disk.  So I tried DiskSalv on it, 
and it too reported an error on a particular block.  I tracked it down to 
a program in the C: directory called 'sigfile'.  Perhaps this is where 
the registration number lies, and it is corrupt?

Can anyone give me suggestions as to how to fix this (besides dump the 
program and get something else)?  I need to use it for now...

Thanks.
