Crash when starting Achilles heel

April 20, 2006 12:34 PM from

Could not find a TGN Serial No.

Thats the error i get, its in mission achilles heel, otherwise everything works. Tho that "could not find" is just a general thing saying something went wrong... right?

Anyway, here is the rest of the text. I have latest drivers for my chipset and my graphics card, latest bios and... Yes, the omega drivers work as i can play any other games i have tried, and i managed to play till this mission?

PS: i have to run off right now but once i get back i'll try the normal debuggings (turning off everything possible in game(disabling graphics options) and so on, i'll post here if it works but if i dont post then i havent been able to solve this.

And yes, i bought this game
