Then you have to call Crytek to get your numbers to work again....thats a pain... Hope you can get that installed an updated by Friday?? Edited May 24, 2012 by WiZiD Awards

Sucks you had to go the longest route though.

Doubt that you got the shitload of XP updates that always come with a reinstall but you're at serious risk without them. Also noticed you said you had firewall/antiviral software turned off. On an XP systems, you WILL be hacked - if you haven't already been - unless you correct that. Use Microsoft Security Essentials. On the other hand, you've got a clean system. It should run faster and smoother with all the junk gone. Glad you're back!!! simplemod 1 Awards

I have 6 copies of crysis wars, 2 copies of crysis and 1 copy of crysis2 registered in my name. I also own the crysis 2 art signed by Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli. He gave a new set of numbers right away.... simplemod 1 Awards
