I removed all my virus protection, i changed my DEP settings several times, i shut down my fire wall, i am running XP sp 3+, i have installed and re-installed ad nauseum,my system can run all the latest games "Call of Duty- World at War" etc., and the thing still wont let me activate the license.
You said that from your experience the most frustrated people are the ones that ignore the tools provided to help them.
That is like saying that before i drive my brand new car i must first assemble it with the tools that were provided by the dealer who sold me the car! Where on the cover or manual does it say you must be a programmer to play this game?
Nothing recomended so far by the help desk has worked. And from numerous forums i've read i don't seem to be the only one.Also nowhere on the back jacket (or the front)does it mention anything about the elicense.
WHY release a game that doesn't run straight out of the box? a game that costs 45 EURO!
