failed cd key?

[0101001]

Ok so i have legitemately bought this game, I've registered for an account on gamespyid.com, I have entered all my details correctly but I get a message telling me the cd key failed or something along those lines.

So does anyone know how I can fix this?

I just got the same problem, my game is original and I used the CD key that comes with the game.

Check the CD-Key again.

Odds are that you put in 0 as O, l as I, or any one of the other stupid mistakes that we all tend to make

it's ok i figured it out, i needed to have all capitals where i put my letters in lowercase.

Here's how I fixed it:

Open Start
Click Run
Type: regedit
Now go to this: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/SEGA/Medieval II Total War"

Now you'll see a value representing the CD-key. Change it to what it should be. You could have done the following wrong:
-Don't type spaces
-Do type the "-"s
-Don't use "o"s use "0"s
-Type everything (except for the numbers obviously) in capital letters
