It's true that the "read-only" tab was activated.

Piglet:
Aha! You need the game to be able to write stuff. You'll need to change it to be read/write. If you still have problems keep posting back here or ping me on Discord and we'll keep helping you.

Once it can write to system/ut2004 it will give the ability to get me more information to be able to help you.

If it has anything like Roger noted in his post here https://miasma.rocks/index.php/topic,2028.0.html , you could try that same solution.

Thanks for the info, Piglet. I checked the contents of the files you sent Roger and see that they all end with ".u"
On the other hand, I have UT2004 installed on an old Dell Win 7 computer. It still allows me to connect to MIA servers, but it's very slow. It does allow me to see other servers in the program's Internet tab and allows me to play on them. I backed up all the files from that installation and have them on a flash drive. Could I copy some of the files and replace them with the files from the new installation on the PC that doesn't allow me to see the servers?
I remember that in the past, when the official UT2004 server went down, a small file was created and added to the program. This old PC probably has it, but I don't know what that file is.

Nardaq_NL:
U can copy/past to new pc just fine. (Don't drop it in program files but in C:\UT2004 for example)
After that you need to get the CD key from the old computer to "register" it on the new PC.

at old computer:

* Run regedit and go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Wow6432Node \ Unreal Technology" or search for "CDKey"
* Right click on "Unreal Technology" name and select Export, give it a name and location and click save. (this file contains your UT2004 CDKEY, view/modify the file to check it contains the CDKey)

then you can:
a) run the reg file on the new pc to register ut again (if the old PC has a 32bit windows installation skip this part) or
b) run UT2004RegFix-1.3.zip to do it manually.
