In short, I lost my serial for Windows2000 OEM-version. The key was on the manual which is nowhere to be found...What can I do? Call Microsoft? Can they help me with my problem, especially when it's an OEM-version? Get somebody else's cd-key? But isn't it cd-specific? Find it in the registry? I've only found the product id, which isn't the same as the serial... Before you all start shouting <nasty W-word> let me tell you I'm using a legit version of w2k, so I have the nice shiny hologrammy disc and the proper licence (which is lost though ). And please, no patronizing, I've already hit myself over the head a couple of times for losing it

That Microsoft support thingy didn't work. I followed the path the error message gave, but didn't find anything unusual...

(I don't know if this is the right place for this so my apologies if i'm totally lost) Whenever I try to uninstall a program that uses Installshield, I get the following error message: Error loading C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\InstallShield\engine\6\Intel The specified module could not be found This happens with every single program that uses Installshield. I didn't have any problems installing these. How can I fix this? I'm running Windows2000 on a 1Ghz T-Bird, 384megs of ram and a Geforce2Pro.

Well today I tried 5 different drivers trying to get FF7 to work. The 12.41s, 12.90s, 14.10s, 21.83s and 22.50s. No change in either 3d- or software-mode. This is slowly starting to tick me off. What drivers do have if you can get FF7 to work? My screen is still black, the only thing I see is the blue talk-boxes....

What am I doing wrong when I can't even play FF7? I can start the game but after I choose "new game" all I see is the conversations, but no graphic at all. Everything is black 'cept for the blue talk-bars I have tried running FF7 with and without the patch, in software and in 3D, with and without QFixApp (all of these combinations). What up? I'm running W2k onna 1ghz T-bird, 384megs and GF2 Pro with all the latest drivers. Edit: Oh and yes, I have read the old thread about FF7 but those tips haven't helped either
