Nascar 2002 trouble

Just got N2002 but can't log onto the Sierra server. Tells me i have an invalid cd key ?? The sim runs fine offline. Thanks for any and all help. Cheers Phil http://www.users.tpg.com.au/gplracer/

Did you buy the cd used?? You may have picked up a copy from a known wrecker who got banned from Sierra. just a guess. dave henrie "Phil Abel" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3dcf5697$0$12759$[email hidden]...

Damn wreckers... Now they are nailing folks OFF the track as well. dh

that's what I was thinking as well. Were you able to return the used copy, and get your money back, Phil? Achim "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:wV7A9.9552$V16.14936@rwcrnsc54...

He doesn't race online so he wouldn't have even known it was invalid for multiplay ! He in turn was given the sim so don't know who to blame, but it's definitely a good lesson learnt... I won't miss GP3 so no harm done, but i didn't realise how great N2002 was or i would have grabbed a copy much sooner. I'm in a league race tonight at Phoenix but haven't raced the ovals since Nascar3 so very very rusty...I better get some laps in or I could end up being the damn wrecker !<g> Hope to see ya on the track sometime. Cheers Phil

You may have been banned from Sierra. Or, someone may have gotten ahold of your key, drove like an idiot, and got YOU banned. It's all done by the key now. Changing screen names won't get you around it. Just a possibility. -Larry "Phil Abel" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3dcf5697$0$12759$[email hidden]...
