I think we know the story.

Let me try :P

"I downloaded the game and tried it, I liked it now I bought it with my hard earned cash, but somehow the old key is in the computer somewhere and keeps trying to use it. OMGzor how can I play with my legit game now"

:P


Try looking in the registry.

Goto START> RUN >Regedit

In new window, browse to the following

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
(GAME PUBLISHERS NAME or GAME NAME)

Perhaps in there you will find the old key, just delete the entry or the Game's entry completely not the whole HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or SOFTWARE one :P

Or delete the old game folder, and check your My Documents folder incase anything there was left behind.

@Dabhand
Personally I would have let him figure it out himself!! But I guess thats why I am known as 'Grumpy'!
You say the Warez kiddies annoy you but then you go and help one?
Give them nothing, take them nowhere!

I agree with many points raised here. But like DABhand said how many ppl actualy buy a game once they have had a warez version because its a good game ? (not many as we know). Thats asuming he did replace the "naughty" version with a store bought and paid for version. (and hasnt just got hold of another "naughty" version). You know the saying = a Zebra dosent change its stripes

edit the two other posts were not there when i posted
