yeh loooool im not that dumb mate
My problem here is one of Unable to re-create all these people with the same problem, in that they all have problem getting the Key registered or it fails a while later. As I have mentioned before, I have installed V3.55 on 4 Different machine, each one with a different CPU, Different Graphics card and so forth.
The only thing that was in Common was they all had a fresh Install (+ Updates) of Windows XP Pro Sp2, Avast AV (also Symantic Enterprise Edition, NOD32 etc depending on which machine we are talking about).
I ran the Armadillo Crack thing, it asked me for a Key, I entered it, it accepts it and the server ran from that Point forth. I left the CruelDragon.INI as it came along with that Long key which is present in there. I started the Loader / Netcheck and then "Close Group" on one of them - this made both of them run.
My Suggestion is as follows if you reall want to keep persuing this V3.55 - Format your machine (after backing things up of course) and put on Windows XP Pro with SP and do all the updates. Put on the Chinese (PRC) Lang pack and now go about installing the server. If it fails at this point with the files MILO Supplied, then I can only point you at your hardware or something.
Unless I can re-create the problem my end, then I cannot advise on what to do. I have since deleted MIR3 anyhow, its past its sell by date but thats un-important in regards this thread..
