The Dark Crusade CD-Key tricks//Step-by-step//
Step 1
From your Windows Toolbar, choose
Start, then click on
Run... (The highlighted section in the image)
Proceed to step 2
Step 2
A window like the image below should turn up. If not, then it means you either have deep trouble with your computer or authority level.
In the
Open: textbox, insert
regedit. Regedit stands for
Registry Editor, it's playing with fire if you change the log inside without knowing what they do.
Click
OK button, and you may proceed to the next step.
Step 3
Click on
the [+] sign next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then you should see many sub registry folders under it. (See next image)
Step 4
Click on
the [+] sign next to
SOFTWARE, then the sub registry folders should expand.
Step 5
Scroll down, and look for a folder named
"THQ".
Click on the [+] Sign to expand the registry.
Step 6
After the registry has been expanded, you should see two folders (I have three because I have RDN tool), one called
Dawn of War,(If you have installed Dawn of War) one called
Dawn of War - <s>Dork</s> Dark Crusade.
If you see a folder called
Dawn of War - Winter Assult, then your computer is
haunted
Here comes the choice: What's your problem?
a. I lost the CD- Key for vanilla DoW/or/and/ Winter Assult.
b. I have Dark Crusade, but I did not insert the CD key for vanilla DoW/or/and/ Winter Assult.
If your problem is
A, please proceed to
Step D1
If your problem is
B, please proceed to
Step D2
(The instructions below have been packed for manual tidiness)
