Need a Little Help Re-Loading WITP-AE - 4/27/2012 3:26:21 AM

Status: offline 		Howdy! I have WITP-AE loaded onto one computer. I would like to copy it to another, but when I do that, the .exe gives an error message indicating a lack of PW data.

I would propertly install it on the new computer, but I purchased extended download through Digital River, and have no idea how to get back to that site (and not sure, but it may have expired anyway)

How can I copy from one computer to another?

Many thanks in advance!

I think you also have to copy a file from your "All Programs" folder.

As well as the actual Matrix folder the download sets up a seperate folder which you need.

I use a portable hard drive with the game files but still need to download the folder into the C drive of the PC I am using.

If it works send a donation to ........................ .com.au

The installer file is what you originally got from matrix. In order to install on a computer you must use either the original load module received from Matrix or a "copy" of that file saved on optical disk, hard disk, backup hard disk, thumb drive or what-have-you.

That's what I thought. Unfortunately, I don't have that installer file (I lost the disk).

It looks like I will have to hear from Matrix, and throw myself on their mercy. I'd hate to have to pay again when I have a Registered Copy already, but we'll see

Thanks for replies, guys

Crackaces:

I just checked and all of my games are listed with the serial numbers but I didn't see how to download them again
