I guess I had 1 crash too many. If I try and start the game (and I know I shouldn't, but I get so bored sometimes) I get the error that my CD key is invalid and must reinstall the game. Now, my CD drive borked on my quite a while ago and haven't had the money to replace it. I do have a backup of my drive, so if I knew which file that stores the key, I could replace it, hopefully fixing the issue. Or I could just restore the entire directory, guess that would work. Just looking for a quicker solution that dumping 4 GB of stuff back on the drive is all.

Run regedit (pretty sure the registry path is the same in xp/vista/7 etc, I have xp)

Ya, that's where it be.. And it matches what I have on my label. Wonder why this is...probably a messed up file perhaps. Will restore the UT and system dir. when I get the chance and see if that fixes it.

Thanks.
