I purchased Age of Mythology for the sole purpose of playing a friend online. I installed game with the product key that was provided. (The game was purchased at Staples and is a Microsoft version.) I try to get online and it says that it can not validate my cd key and I need to wait a few minutes. I did some research on this and was told that my cd key was probably one that was mass produced, and that I should try to buy another copy. Which I did. I bought a Age of Mythology with the Titans Expansion from Gamestop, also a Microsoft version. I uninstalled the first version that I had and proceeded to install the new version of Age of Mythology and then installed the Titans Expansion. I still get the same message as before when I try to play online. CD cannot be validated please wait a few minutes. Please email me a new product key so that I can play this game as I intended to when I bought it. I have spent money on 2 copies and am getting frustrated that I cannot play online, which was the only reason I bought the game.
Might ask this in a Game forum http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.games&cat=en_US_c25c0a50-8c76-4383-b8a6-4cf66aa33ca3&lang=en&cr=US -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Carrie" wrote in message news:DC9B8381-93A2-4A17-97E2-6D4027651065@microsoft.com... >I purchased Age of Mythology for the sole purpose of playing a friend online. > I installed game with the product key that was provided.
