All right, for reasons I don't think need disclosure I was disconnected with the internet for a month during which time there was a formatting of the windows OS partition(drive C). After windows was successfully re-installed, GCII only responded to my calls for execution by saying: "the product seems to be registered but... something...something." because of previous assistance from forum members I thought I was on the right coarse of action by deleting sig.bin and re-entering my e-mail address and serial code but woefully I failed to acknowledge that I was not connected to the internet.

I opened galciv2.exe and it prompted me to re-register my game which I could not do.
I stayed disconnected for upto 20 days after that(And no, I am not poor) and within those 20 days galciv2.com self-deleted and now I have re-installed SD central and it says GCII is not installed.(I don't have a hard copy)

And activate.exe is not working. How do I play without waiting upto days for it to download again. Please help
