Spearhead won't install! Help!

**Spearhead won't install! Help! -** 11-24-2002, 07:17 PM

On the installation menu I click "next" to begin installation, and then everything hangs for a while. Then an error message pops up saying it could not find a valid registration number. WTF? I have a valid, legitimate copy of MOHAA installed on my computer. It's not in the default C: directory, but that should be a problem. It should ask to point to the valid installation of MOHAA, right? This is b.s.

Anyone else run in to this problem?

Rundll32.dll is part of the system idler. If the system sits idle for too long when trying to run a registry batch, like checking the CD-Key of SH, it will error in a continous loop. It's just a security precaution. Just make sure you reboot your PC after the installation finishes.

Windows ME = The Harlem of OS's.

You NEED to connect that PC and get the critical updates. Once that's done, we can help more.
