update - starforce never contacted me so i emailed them directly. after a bit of to-ing and fro-ing and getting me to delete a registry key, the issue was passed on to their developers. that was on the sixth . yesterday (12th) i emailed them for an update and got a reply that it would be fixed soon. this is getting very frustrating.

update - alexander from dcs got back to me promptly on friday. he issued me a new serial and has passed on my problem to starforce and has said they should contact me within 3 days. ill update this thread if i get a solution as it cant be that rare.

no, its never been messed with, although it does have a lot of apps and games on it. ive never had any previous issues

thanks for the reply my machine is a stock dell dimension amd dual core 2gb ram ati radeon 256 mb vid card win xp ive installed the game to a non default d:\ drive folder with an admin logon as i mentioned when the manual activation fails and you hit retry, a completely different hardware id comes up. its strange. ive never had any installation issues with other sims and run il2 fsx lomac without issue

hi, first post here. i was wondering if anyone had encountered the same problem as me` online activation of dcs: black shark wont work. it tells me everything is fine and uses up an activation but the next screen tells me an internal error occurred. i also tried getting an activation code from starforce. twice but when i enter it i just get another error . i have noticed that the hardware id keeps changing which seems odd. i would have thought that it would be static unless something was changed ive emailed activation@lockon.ru but as its 1.jan i dont expect to get a quick reply. can anyone help?. thanks
