... i can't figure out any way to possibly apply the patch without a reinstall... but before i do this i just have to ask if there is actually another way to apply the patch... my main problem is i cannot find my CD-key, so i'll have to use a grabber to find it =[

Run this:
http://maged.lordaeron.org/WC3InstallPath.php

thanks!

i didnt see this untill just now, and so i used shadowfrench's CD-key grabber instead, but it seems like this could happen again, so ill keep that in mind.... only problem is i have 2 copies installed, but my computer only recongnizes that it has 1 installed... i just really need to format my hard drive i think >.> oh well, ill get around to that some other time

CD-Key Grabbers are bad ideas, they probably steal your CDKey's...
