I don't think it should be in technical issues, because it's not a technical issue...

Basically I just reinstalled Windows for the second damn time per day (I've been very unlucky lol) and found out that I forgot to save the registry entries for TS3. I saved for TS2 instead :( But I sooo don't want to reinstall the game again :(. But it refuses to start now, I think because of not finding itself in the registry.

Please please somebody help me out and copy them, they should be the same I think, I'll only need to edit the paths to the game, and probably language.

It's easy, you just push Start->Run->regedit, and a registry program will open, then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE, there should be Electronic Arts folder (not EA Games, that's the one I mistakingly copied, that's TS2). You click the right mouse button on this folder and choose export, the program saves the registry entries in a separate file.

I really hope somebody would do it, it doesn't take much time, unlike the reinstalling :) A bunch of cookies from me! :)

They will not be the same. They will carry the individual game's serial numbers and asking for someone else's is very illegal. If you didn't make a backup then I'm afraid you need to reinstall.
