Okay well awhile ago i reinstalled renegade ( took few hours) and noticed if i used the the renegade.exe i would get a message popping up say "about to restart" , "your computer needs to restart to continue the path, press ok". even if i cancle it auto restarts my computer ( gets so annyoing why any one would make a program that does things without your permission) and it restarts if i hit "ok" then when my computer restarts it will show a box all black saying it couldnt patch my renegade... i used to be able to use game.exe but since i did a disk defrag its gone and now i cant use that as my sorce of getting into the game. i NEED HELP

Renegade.exe just runs game.exe, so if that file is missing you don't actually have the game installed. Renegade.exe is basically just a launcher, and is probably messing up because it can't find game.exe and was never designed for that situation.

As I said, that's because you need game.exe to play the game. Renegade.exe is, contrary to it's name, not actually Renegade, but a simple launcher. The game itself is called game.exe, and without that file you cannot play the game. If it has been deleted or lost for whatever reason you effectivly no longer have the game installed.

Oh, you were trying to install the Core Patch from within RenGuard. Go into RenGuard's options, disable the Core Patch check, and get it manually from the Core Patch forums. Also, if you don't have The First Decade, you need to patch before you install RenGuard, the Core Patches, etc. You can get the patch here.
