So basically ive been playing for a few weeks and its been fine, I come back to it today to find this and no matter what i do nothing changes, I cant play the mod.. It whatever has happened also has removed the shortcuts for YR from my Program files & desktop.

No ideas what could trigger, yes on what have been changed.

Wait... Win7... yes on what could trigger as well.

Yuri's Revenge installs it's registry into HKLM/Software/Westwood/Yuri's Revenge. Win7 brought in a HKLM mirroring (I still have XP and it was only once when I read about this) that every user have thier own HKLM/Software registry keys and even some are only available when you run the computer with admin access.

Since NPSE checks for registry, I'd suggest that's what got messed up.

I hadnt changed anything for this to happen, Basically shutdown went to sleep then woke up n it was like it.

Tried completely removing everything to do with Westwood then reinstall it all to no avail.

Do you have a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Westwood/Yuri's Revenge key in your registry?

If you're viewing it using RegEdit and run 64-bit Windows, the actual path is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Westwood/Yuri's Revenge

Basically all 32-bit applications use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/ instead when querying/writing in registry using HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/, if running a 64-bit Windows. Don't ask me why they have separated them.

I see. Well, considering that I still have XP32... I just say I believe and nothing more.
