Default WXP registry keys for T-34 vs Tiger

I found out when I uninstalled T-34 vs Tiger, that the registry keys for the game don't get erased. So if they are corrupted, they will still aflict the re-install; I kept getting the same error even after the fresh install.

You need to delete Windows XP Registry keys: HKEY_Current_User/ Software/ G5 Software, and HKEY_Current_User/ Software/ Microsoft/ Windows/ Current Version/ Explorer/ MenuOrder/ Start Menu2/ Programs/ Lighthouse Interactive.

Then do the fresh install.

Don't start the game if you want to apply patchTvsT_1 mod; install the patch before starting the freshly installed game. I had noticed that the registry keys only appeared after the first start of the game.

To be safe you can do a search on G5 or Lighthouse keys using "Edit-->Find...", and you can save any key prior to editing or deletion by selecting it and using "File-->Export...".

thanks for the info Falco250, I will reference anyone who has these problems to this thread.

But I'd like to throw out a warning to anyone who goes through with this.
Working with registry can be very dangerous, especially if you don't know what you are doing when it comes to working with computer files, if you don't do it right, you can cause irreversible damage to your system.

If you find that you MUST go through with this, take it slow and triple-check the registry file before you modify/delete it.

we can't take responsibility if something bad happens to your system. You have been warned.

Thanks again Falco, I've had to do this before, and help is always appreciated for those that are pulling their hair out trying to figure out why their game still isn't working right.

Thanks Sledgehammer427, your warning advice is well taken.
I have therefore added a few more lines on searching and saving the registry keys prior to editing.
