Title: Help Required! recovery of licence key and and blank screen when loading SS08
Post by: dharl on November 08, 2007, 12:34:40

Hi all,
just a small question which i hope can be solved easily  ::)

1) I have lost my ss08 licence key!  :-[ I have seen Wout post on this subject but i cant access the links as i havn't registered my key! ( I lost the box for my game when moving house after loading on to my computer first!)

2) The second question is that (just today) i try to load up the game, after the vstep loading screen, it then goes blank and nothing happens!   I am running the game as a window on my desk top rather then full screen.    SS06 still runs ok though....

Hopefully someone can give me a pointer in the right direction....

krgds

Dharl   

Happy sailing

A pointer.... Look MUCH harder for the box and instructions?

Have a look in the FAQ section there is a tool you can download which will search your hard drive for the licence key. It works too.

I'm glad to know Marmite has more uses than just as a food!

Yes, best bet is to enter your Q on the tech support forum and 'you know who' will undoubtedly know what to do.

Like the banter but don't see any explanation to cure the blank screen problem. :(

If it is a licence key fault how can one re-enter it when the system locks up at the blank screen point, the only way to get out is to reset the computer.
