Also, if you are reinstalling your computer, you can save your current nicknames and passwords that are in your registry, and reimport them when you reinstall.
If you are not familiar with using regedit, then I recommend the above reset passwords procedure instead.
1. Run regedit (start, run, regedit)
2. Browse to the key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wchat
3. Right click on the key, select "export"
4. Save that .reg file somewhere that won't be lost when you reinstall windows.
5. After you reinstall windows, renegade, etc. Locate the .reg file that you saved and double-click it. It will ask if it's okay to import it, select Ok.
Renegade should now have your nickname and password stored like it did before.
Note, the password in the registry (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wchat\Nick1\Pass) is encrypted so don't see it and think that is it and try to type it manually
