"girl gamer" ? You play Counter-Strike ? I think I'm in love

Anyway, on to more serious matters. Ahum... if tomorrow none of the "gentlemen" that hang around here and actually have the game can help you, I will. But it's a bit better if someone who has the game helps you and I don't have it. Nevertheless, if by tomorrow no knight in shining armor has arrived, I'll take a shot at helping you get back to the orc bashing.

OK.
Let me know ur current version first please.
For details, check for a patch.log in ur game folder.

Then, I'll try to put ur version's Virtual Crack and the latest version into my briefcase.
You need these, so that you can connect to B.net and download the update, before restart the game, switch back to windows, restore back the war3.exe. After restart, put the latest Virtual Crack inside, and start the game normally.

Or, if u'r having the original war3.exe, and there's offline updater for latest version, then I'll only need to put the latest Virtual Crack.

Download the version 1.04 update patch from this Blizzard Official Patches Page

Then, try to understand and get the virtual crack named "gruwar3vcr104.rar" from this post:

Update, and extract the rar to ur game folder... overwrite...
note: war3.org is the original upgrade exe, while war3.exe is the virtual crack (or so called loader)

I wouldn't be too sure about that, certainly not at Counter-Strike

OIC, your original CD just get stolen recently??

No matter whatever now...
Just grab that "gruwar3vcr104.rar" and extract those war3.exe and war3.org to your game folder, overwrite and you are done.

Oops, GCW still don't have the Virtual Crack for v1.04...
Anyone able to help send the "gruwar3vcr104.rar" to GCW?
Hehe...

RincewindTheWiz should be a very nice guy, and like to help people... and still looking for gf??

So let's get you back on warcraft then, I wouldn't want to accidentally encounter you on a CS server and get my fragile male ego blown to bits

Cut it out, you're making me blush

Uhm, well, let's get to the warcraft business before I start to think too much about possible bard-wizard relationships, heheh

What v3688e said should have worked, but the "gruwar3vcr104.rar" you need is a specific crack that's a bit hard to find at the moment, so I suggest we try a different one. Could you download this file ? When you are sure you've got 1.04, first rename the war3.exe in your warcraft 3 directory to war3old.exe, then decompress the files in the rar archive you downloaded into your warcraft directory. It should work now, but if it doesn't or anything here is unclear, tell me and I'll see what I can do.

Now to the subject of the cd itself. You should start looking for a replacement from somewhere, a simple backup copy from one of your friends should suffice, I hope you can get one ? The reason I suggest this, is that although you have a valid cd key, the next time windows has to be reinstalled or something like that, you need some installation media to be able to reinstall warcraft III.

Haha, get it from my briefcase, log on using v3688e_yeah with password 123456, and look into v3688e_share's briefcase, ie.

http://briefcase.yahoo.com/v3688e_share

it's just a 320KB file.
