Lord of the Rings : Battle for Middle Earth 2 (pirated copy) defeat after 3 minutes fix 

 EA games have put this security feature in BFME 2 where the you are automatically defeated after 3 minutes of game play without the enemy attacking if you are using a pirated version.

All your buildings are destroyed all at once automatically. You can't do anything about it.

It's frustrating I know :( 

Well after spending a whole day searching for a workaround I finally got the solution.

How to:

1. Download the files from the link given below.
2. It will have some files in it ( BFME2LM.exe ,config.ini and other keygen related files)
3. Copy all files into whichever folder you have installed or copied the game
4. Now right-click on config.ini and change the PATH address to the folder of the game then save it and close it.
5. Now open cmd from run
6. Go to the game folder and run the BFME2LM.exe file in the following way
7. BFME2LM.exe XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
8. The X's stand for the serail key which you can get from the rld-bme.exe keygen
9. Just press enter 
10. Nothing will happen and the only way to check it would be to actually play the game and test it.

Reason : 

When you start the game it encrypts and writes a serial key into the game2.dat file.

So if the key is not valid the game ends after 3 minutes

This procedure ensures that the old key replaced by the new one.

(You can check if the key has changed by opening the game2.dat file. Although it will just contains random characters you see if the characters have changed.)

P.S. - Just comment if you want to add anything or if the file gets deleted I will try my best to restore the file

ENJOY.

Google Chrome fails to startup

I recently encountered this problem when my Chrome browser failed to start. When I clicked on the icon the I got the hourglass mouse icon for a split second and then ...nothing... absolutely nothing happened.

Then panic struck in, so I frantically uninstalled chrome and downloaded and installed a fresh copy but still nothing happened. I did this is a couple of times but still nothing happened.

After a lot of research (a.k.a googling - using firefox of course) I understood that this was a corrupt file problem in the Documents and Settings directory chrome folder.

So here goes the solution :

• Uninstall Chrome

• Get Ccleaner ( http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner  its free but do make a donation if you can ) download and install it and run it. Clean your computer and the registry properly (do it a couple of times just to be thorough). For future use keep doing this atleast once a week to keep your computer in good shape (nobody likes a slow computer).

• Go to My Computer-> Windows Drive (C: mostly) and Right click on the drive icon and  goto properties->tools->check now,  after clicking on check now tick both the boxes in the window that appears and then click start. Then you may get a message saying that your computer needs to restart blah blah blah, click ok . 

• Now restart your computer. As the windows logo appears your computer will start the checking process, let it happen it wont take more than 30 minutes (if you have a really slow computer).

• Now after your windows starts , install chrome again and VOILA it should run.

Method 2:

If that doesn't work try adding your chrome.exe (mostly in program files) to the exceptions list of your antivirus/firewall .

Probable cause of the problem :

I was switching off my desktop by directly cutting off the power . So remember to properly shutdown your PC before cutting the power.
