Hi Cara, You raised a very good point in your last post. Sometimes a game developer needs to stop answering calls, responding to email, or cut down on list activity to work on games. If a developer does that he or she could be accused of being impersonal just because they are trying to make time

Hi Liz, No, you don't have to install all of the software. Basically, the way the generator works is you run it select the product you want to register and paste in your hardware ID, and tell it to generate a new key. You can paste the key it generates into the registration program for the game

ouch lol well, you should be able to install a 64 bit OS on that machine then, and then the 8 gb will be used. so much better, running 64 bit. 32 bit is sooo old and slow. let alone the speed at which you can zip files up, in 64 bit mode, using all the ram you have. my god, does it go fast.
