Status: offline 		I would recommend trying this.

1. Make sure you are doing all of this as an administrator on the machine.
2. Uninstall the game.
3. Turn off UAC. Here is how --

4. Install the game. Do not install it in the default file path. Install it somewhere like c:\games\ww2rtv
5. Turn UAC back on.

Status: offline 		What a shame - reported the problem directly - not one responce (other than a formal log acknowlegement) - this is really not what I had hoped for from such an established company - all I want to do is to start the game!

Status: offline 		You may have tried this, but I have had to select "run as administrator" for some games when I had Vista or I got the same message.  Just an idea...

I forwarded this to someone who's more versed in the serial number system than I am. Unfortunately it looks like it got lost in transit. I've just reminded them to work with you on this today.

Regards,

- Erik
