FIX for “bad serial number”:
For windows 10: Go to Operation_Flashpoint_Cold_War_Crisis_Win_Preinstalled_ENGame FilesOperation Flashpointmiscfiles
There you should have a file named “Key”, right click, Edit. You have to change the file to this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeCodemastersOperation Flashpoint]
“MAIN”=”C:\Program files\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint”
“KEY”=hex:4e,7b,fe,cb,61,c1,e7,a3,b8,d5,7d,92,80,b7,52
I added Wow6432Node, save the file and then double click it.
If you have windows xp just doble click de Key file.
Then run the game from the .exe file as normal.

Hi did you download the preinstalled version or the game setup? I would recommend downloading the setup and installing the game from scratch, that might help
