"Unable to access registry" when typing in my CD key

After installing the retail version of SWAT 3, updating it to v2.1, then installing last resort and running the game, it asked for my CD key. I typed it in and then it gives me an error saying "Unable to access registry". It won't get past this point no matter what i try. Any ideas?

This is unique problem that I haven't seen before.

After you installed Swat 3 did you run it at least once BEFORE installing the Last Resort mod? After installing the CD retail version the game should ask you for your CD key the first time you run it. Once you have entered the key and then tested Swat 3 you then can quit and install the Last Resort mod.

The Last Resort mod uses custom hacked NO CD executables.

Hopefully I have understood what the problem was.

I can't run the game at all without the mod. I run the game and nothing happens, but with the mod installed, it asks for my CD key. I can try to reinstall the game and try again, but I highly doubt that will work.

Hmmm sounds like you are having movie issues.

Have you tried running normal Swat with the -nointro command line?

On your desktop you should find a shortcut to swat 3. Right mouse click over it and select PROPERTIES. Under the TARGET you should see something like this:

"C:\Sierra\SWAT 3\swat.exe"

Change it to "C:\Sierra\SWAT 3\swat.exe" -nointro

After the closing quote you should add a space before you type -nointro

See if you can get Swat 3 to run now.

If this was the problem a more permanent fix can be found here:

So I just tried reinstalling the game only and trying to start the game without the intro and it's still doing nothing. It doesn't ask for my CD key it just shows up in Task Manager for about a second or two and then closes. It's set to Windows XP SP3 compatibility settings and still nothing happens. I really have no idea what else to try at this point.

Just to be clear, you haven't installed the Last Resort mod after the fresh install right? The game won't even run by itself?

I suspect you are having troubles with the copy protection of the game. Have you tried downloading a 2.1 NOCD crack from GameCopyWorld of Swat 3 and try running it with that? Replace the game's Swat.exe with the cracked version and see if it will run.

Try this link:
