have no idea where my cd key is but want to reinstall Spearhead. I have NOT uninstalled it yet so just wondering if anyone had any idea how to retrieve my cd key from registry maybe???

Find it, export it as a .reg file, re-run it to re-install Spearhead. (It works for me with UT2k3 at least everytime I reformat.

)

Spearhead is MoHAA sequel/expansion pack...right? If I can find the .reg file on me install of MoHAA that might probably help a bit? I'll be glad to scrounge it up if it will give ya an idea of where to look.

well I have found 2 keys with spearhead but both say (value not set). I have found NO place with any hint of a cd key number

Neither with MOHAA (though I still have the key for it) nor Spearhead expansion...

2 keys I've found and checked are:
1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Medal of Honor Allied Assault(tm) Spearhead\2.11
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EA GAMES\Medal of Honor Allied Assault Spearhead\2.0

and in just doing that I see the 2nd key has only 2.0 in it and not 2.11... Maybe something happened when I applied the patch?? Either way, in neither location can I find the cd key..
