Protection Error w/Patch 1.3

[philminatz 0]

Greetings,

I have recently installed my old GR on my computer. It works fine with original install. But when I intsall the 1.3 (OR 1.3+1.4, I've tried both) Patch and then tried to play, it froze before starting on a black screen with my taskbar at the bottom. One of the tabs there says "Protection Error".

Any Suggestions?

Thanks

I managed to work around the problem. I downloaded and installed the Frostbite mod, which comes with its own launcher .exe. Once I launched Recon with that, it somehow enabled the regular Recon startup with no problems. Now I can start Recon the usual way.
