Understood. Appreciate the help. I actually found another posting (yours ,maybe), and also did some research on the web, so just reinstalled the game as suggested. To your credit, all my saved games were still there and playable, and I was immediately re-activated.
Now I'll go back to the posting I found on the web about files being removed by McAfee and try to fix it from there.
Thanks all
Bill
Now I'm Frustrated With Activation
Re:Now I'm Frustrated With Activation
Glad to hear you are back. It seems that we have this particular situation pretty nailed down. Everytime someone's game that has been activated suddenly loses it's activation, a reinstall fixes the problem.
