Hello all, long time reader but never had anything to say so never got around to registering. After years playing the SP campaign I finally decided to put on my boots and wear my crotch pad to give those multiplayer vets some new flesh to beat tender. After hours looking for the original manual I finally found it to get the precious CD code I am confronted with a new problem. They printed it in the lowest quality possible so a D looks like O, 5s and 6s are indistinguishable. I have a vague recollection of going through this some time in the past, and finally nailing it after hours of combination after combination.

Well I think i got the code down this time, yet im getting an authetication error. All the gamespy stuff is accurate, so its either I did not get the cd key correct. An alternative is I have VI invasion installed so would that be conflicting with the old key code? Ive looked on gamespy arcade and there seems to be few people who actually play VI multiplayer so I guess im going for 1.1 MTW but do I need to uninstall VI to do it and would it possibly cure the auth error?

Thanks in advance ;)

Sorry not sure how to edit or if you can edit on this forum...

Does anyone have any clue? I uninstalled the game and put on just mtw 1.1 and my gamespy details are correct I am positive. Its this cd code which is messing me around. Did anyone else get one of the original games with poorly printed cd key on back of manual and if so how did you deal with it?

No problem now. It turns out an 8 was a B. Sorry for wasting time can someone delete this thread? Thanks for all the help.

Welcome to the Org GrimMinos.
I am glad you solved your problem yourself.
You cannot edit your messages until you are promoted to senior patron. Gregoshi, the main moderator of the Entrance hall, claims this is so he can see how you behave without you editing your posts before he can see them. However, I think he has just forgotten to enable it http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif .
Anyway, I hope you will enjoy your stay here and share your wisdom with other patrons.
