Um, well I just got GC2 gold edition and struggled to register it, since there's nothing about GC2 Gold Edition on Stardock central. I finally figured out that you can use the same key to register both GC2 and the expantion, so I guess that's the same thing. I was trying to register it with my account that I made, but since my dad had to use his credit card to buy it we had different email addresses, and it didn't work unless I used my dad's email address, then when it finished downloading it said there was an error activating it and it showed my dad's email, but my password in the message. Now I was getting really confused. I thought maybe it would fix things if I made an account with my dad's email address. So I went to do that and it just kept giving me error -999 whatever the hell that is.

So finally I just decided to try playing the game, so I started dark avatar, and it asked for the serial number... again. So I entered it, and things ran fine up tot he main menu. Then I thought I'd try normal GC2 instead since I didn't know the story and it'd be kind of dumb to play DA before Dread Lords.

I tried to start Dread Lords, and it asked for the serial number, again. So I put it in, and it gave me an error message. So I tried starting it again and it worked fine... up until the main menu. I tried to start a new game and immediately noticed that the pictuer of the colony ship in the bottom of the screen was rotating like crazy, all wonky. So I tried to move it around but it didn't do anything, just kept rotating at rediculous speeds. When I started the game I tried scrolling the screen and it instantly zoomed me to complete blackness. I clicked the map to bring me back and tried scrolling again. Same thing. So I restarted my computer and went to try again. It worked fine for a few minutes, and then started acting up again. I shut down the program and started it again and it was still screwed up so I shut down my computer and went to sleep.

This morning I woke up and tried again. It worked fine for a few minutes, then suddenly went wonky just like yesterday and only restarting the computer fixes it.

So basicly, help.
