As in matter of fact the back pagesripped off the manual and must of been lying in the floor like some peice of garbage. Ok... We all know CDkeys are in the registry.. but before i make my decision on paying 10 bucks for the cdkey i need your help.

Good guess! Don't know really where to look. But yes, it IS in there. Unless it was removed when you de-installed the game. :(

That REALLY sucks... Who put the manual in the mud? :s
I hope you can locate it... Try google for a solution. It should be in the registry...

I'll try to explain this the best I can on how to recover your cd key.
Here it goes:
You can find your lost cd key from your own registry with the steps below:
Before I give you the steps, PLEASE DON'T DELETE ANYTHING OUT OF YOUR REGISTRY. IT WILL CAUSE MAJOR HEADACHES AND POTENTIALLY MASSIVE PROBLEMS.
And it's always best to follow instructions and back up the registry before starting, just incase the bad things happen. You don't have to, but it's the safe route.
Here's the steps:
· Launch REGEDIT by selecting Start/Run, typing REGEDIT in the text box and pressing Enter.
· Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, click on the + and scroll down to Software.
. Inside Software, you'll find a bunch of programs listed. These are the programs that are currently installed on your computer. Don't mess with any of them, we are just looking for BFME2 CD key.
. You'll see a folder Electronic Arts inside here click the + sign to open it. THen look for another Electronic Arts folder.
. You'll see a + sign again. Click it. Then The Battle for Middle-Earth II folder will appear. Click it.
. You should see another folder called ergc, click it open.
. There will be a file named default inside trhe folder. Under Data, will show a bunch of numbers and letters. That's you CD Key. Write it down, close the window, you have now recovered your CD Key.
If there are any problems with my method, let me know.

Ok... I found the Electronics art folder... but there not anothe electronics art folder. there is just:
+--HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
╚ +--SOFTWARE
╚ +--Electronic Arts
╚ +-EA GAMES
---EA DISTRIBUTION
+-EA CORE
+-The Battle for middle-earth, Rise of the Witch-king.
Thats all. Im going to try the system restore method after I try this again.
