Game does not recognize cd key(serial #?)

Post by Duderonomy »

When I tried to install my first DD of Starshatter I received a CRC error and messge that the data was corrupt. So I downloaded the program again. This time I received no errors during install. However, when I attempt to run the program I am informed that my CD Key is incorrect and must re-install. I have a bad feeling this is related to the Fatal Error 772 issue I experienced with WitP as they both appear to involve checking the serial number.

Windows ME (which I am really beginning to hate)
Athlon 1.1 ghz
256mb RAM
Geforce2 64mb
SBLive!
DX9.0b

Please help!

Did you include the dashes in the key?

I did indeed include the dashes in the key, and double-checked the numbers against the ones in the email I recieved.

Likewise here, same error.

Something like - "Starshattered was not installed properly. Invalid CDKEY."

When I start Starshatter from in the Starshatter Game menu screen, Start menu or the Stars.exe file in the install dir. I have installed three time with the same result

I sent you an email with Name, SN# and order number

I took off work tomorrow just to play Starshatter, sure hope I get a fix by then.

Thanks
