I wrote a guide on that:

Also, this applies only to Vista/Win7. Would be nice to know your OS.

Running Windows 7 64 bit.

I'll do the full process with the registry files within the next few days as I've got far more important stuff going on than getting a game to work. I will post the results, whenever it may be. Thank you for the quick help though.
