Alright this will be a step by step to get the old Reborn working with NO CD (renegade). Download and install these programs first (in order). (follow there instructions for installation).

1.Reborn:
http://www.game-maps.net/?action=file&id=908

2.A Path Beyond (APB):
http://commandandconquer.filefront.com/file/;82877

3.Safe Disc 2 Cleaner (stand alone exe needs no install):
http://www.gameburnworld.com/dl/dl3.php?file=Safedisc2Cleanerv1.2.0.zip

4.Scripts (3.4.4) (Install in the root directory of Reborn):
http://www.game-maps.net/?action=file&id=828

Alright now:
1. Now that you have all your goodies installed, use the "Safe Disc 2 Cleaner" to "unwrap" and go to the directory of where you installed reborn ("c:\program files\reborn" is the default).
2. Locate "game.exe" and "open" the file it should automaticly fix the file and rename it to "SD2cleaned.exe".
3. At this point go to the directory via windows explorer (my computer) and make a copy of "game.exe" to the desktop (just in case) and now rename "SD2cleaned.exe" to "game.exe"
4. Try running the game via "game.exe" does it work? Well if it complains about "mss32.dll" do this (if it does run don't do this, but if you do your just wasting your time). REMEMBER TO ONLY USE GAME.EXE AND CREATE NEW SHORT CUTS (TO GAME.EXE), THE ORIGINAL DESKTOP/START MENU SHORT CUTS WILL NOT WORK!! (sorry for the yelling *cough*)
5. Go to your install of A path beyond (the root directory) via My Computer and copy the files mss32.dll, binkw32.dll and bandtest.dll to the Reborn main directory. This should clear up that error, if not also make a copy of these files to the C:\windows\system32 folder. Now try again (useing game.exe), it all should work.

This should get the old reborn working and all the maps to show up and selectible. This works with The First Decade, and in theory should work for most people (theory remember). Good luck, hope this works for you,
