I just red installed my OS, reinstalled a fresh gold edition of winter assault, and patched it.

Played it for a few days this week.

I just tried to log on to gamespy and got the error:

"CD authentication failed"

the only thing i've done with wa today was install dark crusade, and then uninstall it.

what gives?

i also put the cd in the drive and still got the error.
