Hi all, I recently installed RenGuard as I wanted to go on a RenGuard protected server (stupid of me yes I know). I tried starting up Renegade by double clicking on Desktop icon (like I usually do)and discovered this was not working. I then used the "Run as Administrator" option and the mouse icon then turned into the sign to show it was loading.....then nothing...If you haven't already guessed, yes I do use Windows Vista. I've un-installed Renegade and RenGuard twice now to try get it working but still nothing and every time I click the Renegade icon the message "Error Code 000005" appears. Please help and go easy, not very good with computer folders.

Thanks =)

You need to run both game.exe and game2.exe in admin mode.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Ok, I'm not sure if I know how to do that Sad

, if possible could you tell me how to get rid of RenGuard completely because I have used the un-install wizard for it and it still seems to be there.

Thanks =)

If we had to ban all who ever cheated or ever created a cheat (obj3cts and such) then I don't think there would be many members left here (sad fact).

I'm guessing you're using a shortcut from your desktop or where ever. Right click on it -> properties and in the target box there's the target of the shortcut, which should be "blaablaa\Renegade\Game.exe", simply add a 2 before the .exe, so it looks like this
"blaablaa\Renegade\Game2.exe"

Then run the shortcut. Smile

You did it in "Start in" rather than "Target" didn't you?

Here's a simpler way: Go to C:\Westwood\Renegade\ find game2.exe and go to Send to: Select "desktop(create shortcut)", also I think you missed the other thing you have to do: Right Click the shortcut you currently have or the one you created following the steps above > Properties > Compatibility Tab > Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" > Select Windows XP(Service Pack 2), also make sure you run in admin mode still, sometimes it will work without admin mode(like it does for me most of the time).

If this does not work I'm sure we can come up with another solution.
