I can fix this, just let me get on the right PC. (If anyone else wants to help, just extract the version key from their Renegade entry in the registry)

You may also want to try making Renegade and Renguard run in XP SP 2 compatability mode, and admin mode. Info on how to do this here (Ignore that it says "error 0000005" - it's the same idea.)

Did you install 1.037 BEFORE renguard? That's very important.

ok here's what i did:

1. Put CD in INSTALLED RENEGADE.
2. Started the game & got prompted to D-L patch 1.037, done.
3.Went to Renguard.com D-L Renguard
4. Started Renegade again, Renguard came up & updated it self to 1.323(or something like that)
5. started Renegade, noticed that at the bottom of the start menu it DIDNT say "BLACK HAND STUDIOS" but rather WESTWOOD patch 1.037

i tried to go to WESTWOOD servers & it kept saying the server is not responding or something like that... and now im here...

Install Renegade
DL And Install Patch 1.037
Install Renguard
Install some scripts(optional)

make sure you open properties for game.exe go to compatibility tab and click "run this program as administrator" and "run this program
in compatibility mode for: select windows xp (service pack 2) and do that to game2.exe too.

if that does not work post and say so.

It's supposed to do that. What does the MOTD say when you first log in to XWIS?

*hits forhead*
if you are trying to register a new account DO NOT USE NEW ACCOUNT BUTTON!

You Read This > http://www.renegadewiki.com/index.php?title=Registering_a_nick_on_XWIS

Because at no point to login do you need to load one of those web page windows (that are in renegade)

There's a sticky in the "renegade client" subforum called "how to install Renegade in 9 steps". Read it! Smile
