I know there is a sticky alreeady about serials, but I need a question answered. Infact I already posted this exact same post in that sticky thread. But I figured it wouldn't be read there, so I made a new topic (Couldn't figure out how to delete the other 1)(Copied and pasted)
-----
My renegade is screwed up now... You see, I went to create a new name, but my PC has some strange internet problem and wouldn't let me. So I went to use my laptop, created the name, then logged into it from my PC. But then it said that loggin failed and to reinstall renegade with a differen't serial number. (I figured it was because of me making a new name. On both computers I have the same game with same serials installed. I figured that is what it ment)
So anyway, I took it's advice. I uninstalled renegade from The First Decade. Then I reinstalled it with a differen't serial number. But after the installation finished, and I loaded the game, this is what happened:
So I figured it was cause of renguard. So I uninstalled renguard, then uninstalled renegade. Reinstalled renegade with a NEW serial, and I still had the same problem.
Then I took all my maps, gamesaves, and scripts/scripts2.dll out and put them into a differen't folder. And I deleted EVERYTHING else in the renegade folder. Installed it from scratch. Then I had the same error.
So I tried one more time, uninstalled it and put back my origional serial number, and I am now still having this problem.
Can someone help me out here? Obiously it isn't anything within my renegade directory...

OOOH! I just figured out what was wrong (Copy and pasting from another foum)(Tell me if this has already been discovered...without flaming please  )
-------
For those of you with The First Decade, and use Renguard or like to edit/map maps, I have made an important discovery:
When Installing renguard with TFD, it is advised you rename your renegade folder by removing the (tm) from it's name.
But if you keep the renegade folder without the (tm) in it's name you will not be able to start up renegade from the TFD launcher.
So what? Well, that folder still without the (tm), if you were to open it, and launch "game.exe" renegade will start up.
BUT I have made a shocking discovery!
This is what happens when the (tm) is NOT in the Renegade directory file's name when you boot up 'game.exe':
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c175/r315razor/Stuff/Game2 006-08-3018-34-47-54.jpg
So you may be thinking "Well what does this have anything to do with mappers/editors?" Well, I have also discovered that when you remove the (tm) from that name, level edit reads it and is able to extract the objects.ddb from it. (Allowing you to run the program and edit maps)
So, beforwarned, if this happens to you, that is the reason. Just check to see if you removed it, and If you did just click rename and change it from C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer Renegade
to
C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer Renegade(tm) |
