Actually, those isos are no good, there's something wrong with them afaik.

I tried a few things and still not luck, reinstalled Windows 7, then tried various GPU drivers. still nothing. Tho i installed XP pro onto a partition and that worked fine. I then tried running through Windows 7 off of the XP install, the game started up and single player worked, but when i I tried to get online, i got another error message saying that; Westwood online is not compatible with the operating system.
I thought it might have been a hardware problem, but it worked on XP on the same set up. So I'm kinda lost on what it could be if it works on other peoples vista and win7.
But maybe i could be a hardware problem with in Windows 7... this is my set up tho for if any one knows any driver problems and such i did try and find all up to date win7 drivers.
Windows 7 Pro 32bit
AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4ghz
Corsair Dominator 4gb 1600mhz RAM
MSI 790fx-gd70
nVidia GeForce 9800gt 1gb
2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.13 500gb (in Mirrored RAID)
Oh and the disk I'm using are republished by Sold Out. not sure if that makes any difference.
Also the ISO I tried:
http://renegade.dmehosting.com/CD%27s/ from the forum thread http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&goto=386933&rid=20189& srch=.iso#msg_386933
Anyway hope this could be some use for helping with my problem.
Thanks guys.

i installed renegade 2 times today on my Win7 x64. Nothing special about the installation, put the cd in the drive, follow the steps, agree, bla bla cd-key, finish and working.
i installed it twice cause script 3.4.4 f*** my renegade up somehow
What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.
