To start off my problems I did search and used this topic to help me http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=62727 I followed these steps
1. Install BF2 by setting the install.exe to XP emulation.
2. Install BF2 patch 1.41 no changes needed.
3. Install BF2:SF by setting the install.exe to XP emulation.
4. Install BF2:EF no changes needed.
5. Install BF2:AF no changes needed.
6 Install BF2 patch 1.41 no changes needed.
7. Right click on shortcut > properties > click compatibility tab > check emulation for Windows XP > check "Run this program as an administrator." > Click Ok(Do this for both BF2 and BF2:SF!)
8. Play!!!
and I when I went into a multi player game it kicked me saying I have an in valid cd-key. I know for fact I have a clean copy of bf2 I used windows xp sp2 before and set the compatibility to windows sp2 instead of windows xp. I tried all those steps 3 times before I made this post and still got the same cd key invalid message. If anyone has any ideas on how I can fix this problem that would be great, karma for the person that tells me how to fix this and it works ( as an award )
