Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth armageddon effect

Simply reinstall it from the original setup, it needs the correct information in the registry, otherwise everything explodes. if you for example just copy the installation directory of the game from another computer without actually installing it to your own pc, then there is of course no registry data and everything explodes. simply install it from your original dvd/cd again over the normal setup routine and it will work, with or without crack :-)

guess in your case something ****ed up your registry data, since even the autorun of the game wasnt able to detect that it was already installed, like you wrote.
