maybe Taldren can generate you a new CD key, but you may want to contact them by Email...

just look at their profiles for the Email addresses... Give them time to respond as they tend to keep busy.

I posted this up above.. find a thread with one of the Taldren staff in it like David Ferrell .... Click on his name for his profile.. then click on the Email address that is there and send an Email...

I would say run around frantically and search for your jewel case

, but I guess e-mailing Taldren to issue you a new cd key wouldn't be a bad idea either. Can Taldren do that or does Activision issue those cd keys!?

??

This would be an Activision thing. We have no customer support department (present
company excluded).

Thanks,

Dave

I find this especially funny (to be blatantly off-topic), because several members of Taldren's staff once did a game based on Harlan Ellison's "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream." The game even came with a nifty, but hard to use, mouse pad (not enough friction from the foam on the bottom to keep the pad from moving around).

Yes, I did that on purpose. I actually have that game...it was a rather unique title. The mouse pad was very cool and, you're right, nearly useless. But decorative. (It has lately began to dry rot on me, sadly)

Have you ever read the story? Chilling!

Key locations in the registry:

For SFC3:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Activision\Star Trek Starfleet Command III ---> KEY (text)

For OP:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GameSpy\CDKeys ---> StarfleetCommand2 (hex)

For EAW:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WON\CDKeys ---> StarfleetCommand2 (hex)

Since you upgraded to XP, the original registry is gone, but XP may
have imported these keys - not sure though. If you did a clean
install of XP then you're definitely SOL.

Read the story? How could I not?

It was required reading as part of one of my college English courses, as a matter of fact.

If you've never attended an Ellison reading/lecture, I highly recommend it.
