I just purchased F1-2000, but upon installing, a msg prompt pops up saying: "Please enter code found on the back of the CD Case. Spaces are required" Well, I don't see anything printed on the back of my CD Case!?!?! other than the command summary and the text saying Prove You Can Handle the F1 Hot Seat... Can anyone help me... my local EA tech support office (SIngapore) doesn't open until Monday, so can anyone help me? If you can, perhaps you could send me the code so I can run this sim? For verification I can quote either the s/no on the CDR or any box number you need... Pls mail me if u can help.... Stanley
Apparently the factory in singapore made a mistake and forgot to attach the stickers with the codes. My local shop says it will take a few days to sort out the mess. Lomcevak wrote:

The code is on the back of the CD in the very bottom left corner. It should be fairly obvious with characters about 3mm tall. Mine has five numbers followed by four words. I have found that with many games, giving someone your code will not allow you to play that game online. Are you sure you have an official EA version? Maybe this can help you. http://www.gamecopyworld.com/ Good luck Lutrell Lomcevak wrote in message <8c52s2$fkc$[email hidden]>...

Lom, Did you get a pirate copy? They just hit the shelves over in JB. Jens On Sat, 1 Apr 2000 23:05:28 +0800, "Lomcevak" <[email hidden]> wrote:

No Jens, I bought the boxed version. Anyway, after a quick phone call to EA Tech Support, I'm up and running. Turns out that local version wasn't supposed to ship with the CD code, so the cases didn't have the code printed. However, the CDs were encoded, hence the problems. It seems to have affected only the first few batches. Anyway, things are peachy now! Runs great!!! PS. FYI, the pirated version is 0.915... * Sent from RemarQ http://www.remarq.com The Internet's Discussion Network * The fastest and easiest way to search and participate in Usenet - Free!
