CD KEYS: Very Important!

**Kurogane** · November 14, 2006, 05:51 PM

Heads up guys,

I installed the game the first time and put the CD-Key in and it didn't work! Now some of you might be thinking oh he must of put in the wrong one - Well no, Kurogane always double and triple checks.

I tried to log in to MP and wouldn't work, furthermore I never found a way to replace the Cd-key while the game was installed!

So I uninstalled and reinstalled, this time with the CD KEY IN CAPS! It works,

Have fun

P.S: Some mod might wanna sticky this to avoid head aches?

Quicker way to do this, chaps:

Go to Run.
Enter 'regedit.exe'.
HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE
SOFTWARE
SEGA
Medieval II Total War

Now open up 'CDKey' and enter it in capitals before closing. Load her up and enjoy the game!

Why is it a CD-Key when the game is on a DVD?

**theoutcast32** · November 15, 2006, 03:38 AM

cuz a dvd is still a compact disc.

Hey, when I was installing, it asked for my cd key. I typed it in (Correctly! I checked the "checklist" to make sure also) and it won't even let me click "NEXT" to continue on. The key looks like AAAA-AAA-AAA-AAAA-AAAA Is that right? I did type it in right, so that's not an issue, but it might not be recognizing that I filled up the character limit. Pressing enter in the box doesn't work either. Please help! Thanks.

Over here in the UK the fonts used to print the key on the back of the manual are very badly badly chosen. The B and 8 look remarkably similar.

I finally installed it! But now, everytime I start a game, the screen goes black and a box pops up saying: "Microsoft windows detected and recovered from a device failure." What now?:hmmm:

I have installed the game with the geuine CD key. But everytime i try to play online, i made an account and then whenever i try to login, it comes up "Login Failed - Invalid CD Key"

If anyone has a solution to this problem, then it would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

Why my CDKey is like this:

XXXXXXXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXXXXXXX

??? and not like the normal XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX ???

I cannot solve the problem with invalid cd key...
