bad serial after win reinstall

[damones 0]

Sry if asked before but didnt manage to find...

I had to reinstall Xp, overwrite the old installation and i have Arma (1.14) installed as well at C-partition, when starting up the game it says Bad serial given in setup... Is there any way to input serial than reinstalling the whole game again?

I'd like to remark all Arma-folders are intact even if there's new windows setup... Thx for the answers in advance!

If you have saved the previous registry, that would be possible.

Just rename your current ArmA folder and install ArmA. Then replace the installed folder with the previous one and you don't have to install the patches.
