OK, I was running everything fine but my FPS showed 0. I thought I only needed the scripts. After I installed them, I couldnt connect
So, I uninstalled everything and reinstalled C&C:R with my valid serial.
I did the 9-steps exactly in order with CP2, then the scripts.
I renamed game2.exe to game.exe because Ren asked for the disk (Didnt get to the CANCEL screen as before)
I got a black screen, so I reinstalled DX9.0c for WinXP.
I still get a black screen.
Any ideas?
I have installed Resurrection but not Renguard yet.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: See below. Can see game now.

ok, I looked for "black screen" and found advice to reinstall scripts.
That fixed it
Now that I got the game working (I can see it), I still cannot connect.
"Unable to connect
Unable to connect to Westwood Studios"
I assume installing the script package broke it? Thats what started me on this path in the first place. I tried them originally just to fix my "FPS=0" display.
