Ok, i have currently installed on my computer BF2 and it is patched to v1.41.  I am now trying to get some SF awards but the installation wont work.  I put the CD into the drive and click install.  I type the CD key in and hit next a couple of times, and it says that it is patching BF2 to version 1.1.  Y in the hell would it do that?????  Anyway, it always gives me the same message, "patching failed."  what do I do, and in what sequence?  plz help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I completely removed all of BF2 from my computer.  I then re-installed BF2 and did not patch anything.  Then I put SF in and tried to install that but I got the same message.  Am I supposed to patch BF2 to 1.21 before installing SF???

there should be no reason to patch to 1.21 at all
are you using the 1.41 full patch from the official ea site? the 536MB one (that due to unforseen circumstances i am currently downloading AGAIN)

2.) Install Bf2
3.) Install SF
4.) Install patch 1.41
5.) Play SF

sorry mate, everytime i have problems thats the fix, uninstall and re-install.
theres a topic in the battlefield 2 help section about a full manual uninstall. try that?

Hmm... that should not happen...

as sgtdude1987 suggests, you might want to try a full manual uninstall.
see Manually Uninstalling Battlefield 2
(NOTE: following these instructions to the letter will remove ALL traces of BF2 and expansions from your PC - including any screenshots you have saved!)
