To restore your Registry in Windows 98/Me/XP
1. Right click on the Backup.reg file that you created.
2. Click Merge, this will then cause your Registry to be restored.
The above steps to restore the Registry should ONLY be taken if you have deleted a key you did not mean to delete. Restoring the Registry when it is working fine can result in unwanted effects.

Now that the above Registry entry has been deleted the game can be reinstalled normally. You will no longer receive the Modify, Repair, or Remove screen when attempting to run the installation wizard. Additionally the game will no longer appear in your Add or Remove Programs list.


Now try putting the Allied Assault CD #1 in your drive and follow the on screen instructions.
