I have done a new install using Windows 8>1 and it seems to work much better with my other games than Windows 7 but I can't find my game key for WaW! It's what unlocks my character info so I can play on my character BigPapaDean. Does anyone have an answer for this? Please help as I been having severe withdrawal pains from all those people saying "Dame you Dean!"  lol That always makes me smile. I hope that I can figure this thing out!

do you have your cod5 player profile file saved somewhere?  if you don't you won't be getting you're profile back, even with the game key.

it's always a good thing to do once in awhile to save your profile and put it on a usb drive for safe keeping in case of crashes or new installs....

think you will also have to change your name a bit also if you buy a new game since your character name will be on that account where you don't have the key for anymore. something like" _BigPapaDean" with that underscore in front or behind name.

I have it on an old hdd that hasn't been hooked up in several months. Oh and I had this problem before and after a few minutes on the phone with ea I got them to give it to me and walla there was my profile. Tho not all my stats as that went out the door because of lack of backup. But I don't care about that just playing with my IGN! I can go there and save the profile to back up but how do I put the back up back into the WaW files?

Download SIW (system Information for Windows).  It is freeware.  It will give you your key for COD and everything else on your computer Dean.

the way i did it was to start the game, make a new profile then went into my files and switched the new file with the old one i had saved
