Hello all
loving SS btw, think its definitly a positive improvement to what DC was
2 problems though
No.1 when i go to log into online multiplayer, i get CD autherization invalid (excuse spelling, i cant spell for crap!) or something silimar, not CD key just CD.
2nd problem is when i installed it the first time, i got my usual please enter the cd keys for the last few games but DC did not come up and now i cant use them online, i know this because i checked it on a lan game
any suggestions are much appreciated!!
thanks

Edit: running vista

1) Silly question, but did you keep your SS dvd in the drive?
2) Another silly one, do you have DC currently installed on your PC? It might check for the exes, not find them and skip the dc key screen.

I do belive there is a way to unlock the races afterwards, but im not on my dow pc so i cant check now for you.

Last call is a reinstall.

yea i did have my cd in for no.1 and for no.2 i did have it installed. the funny thing is DOW and WA are installed at one spot and DC and SS are at another sopt, dunno if this is supposed to happen or not tho..
anyway, i reinstalled and will try it now
will edit this with news

Edit: update on issue, the error is CD Autherisation Failed
reinstalled, no help, got the CD replaced by the store and still no luck. so any help is appreciated
