Well unfortunently none of my friends have any of the old C&C games [/quote

Then how where you planning on playing on a LAN?

I think you might be able to play a LAN game with the original C&C R.A. (since it has two discs) But you might still get registration number problems.

If you both used the same install cd of Yuri's Revenge and serial , that could explain youre prob.

No prob , and if you look at the green colored square above a user name then you'll find the "user reputation credit" system. :azn:

Oh... lol didn't notice

What I meant by LAN is that I play with my brother, because we don't need seperate keys if we play on a connection that doesn't use internet to work

I got it to work just now by making an ISO and then burning a new CD, but now there's a new problem unfortunently. When I click on "Network" to play on LAN it doesn't go to the LAN options to create a game, it just goes back to Main menu, as if the Network was disbaled

im afraid this part is crossing the PCHF rules and i can't help you with copied disc's. You've been around long enough to know the rules around here i should think..

Well it's not illegal seeing as we bought the CD and made a copy for ourselves without any intentions of releasing it.

I don't know if you're familiar with LAN options on games but they're made so that 2 or more computers connected on a home network can connect to the same server that does not use internet, meaning only the computers connected to the same router can see and play on that server, this option is available on all games and does not require different CD keys since it's in theory only used at home, making it legit (since it's illegal to play online with duplicate CD Keys)

But it is illegal to install on two pc's.
