Ok I have seen this problem posted by two other people besides my self and nobody has replied to any of the posts. SO I am creating a post for those of us with this problem. I am quoting the guy who said it best.
IN a nutshell here is the problem.....
The one thing that showed a little promise was to start my computer in "safe mode with networking". This allowed to atleast get the EA downloader to start up. The problem is that even in "safe mode with networking" my internet doesnt work. So I cannot login to download EF.
As I see it there are two solutions to the problem .....
1. I figure out what is making my downloader crash in normal mode
2. I figure out how to make my internet work in "Safe mode with networking".
IF anyone has an idea on how to make either of the solutions work I would appreciate the help. If you have the same problem please atleast post something so that I can figure out how widespread the problem is.

I have been on the phone with the the BF2 tech support and the EA downloader tech support and they both have no clue. We tried all the basic stuff like making sure there are no backgorund programs running, Clean off any spyware, clear out the temp internet folder all to no avail.duffry wrote:
I have a problem whereby the downloader crashes when it starts up. It's not the 'core' issue but from reading forums I would know what to do if it were. Having tried forums I am going to get back on to EA. This is the same issue I had when I tried it for SF and it was not resolved by them that time. I had hoped that whatever problem there was had been fixed by now but it seems not, and this time I can't just go into town and but a disc.
The downloader is a great idea and I know I'm in the minority of people who have this issue (otherwise there would be some forum posts about it). What I think stinks to high heaven is that I have to pay for the game first and can't even download it. EA should be sending me a URL or something while trying to sort this issue. Franklly it's embarasing being a community/clan leader who can't even play on one of his own servers cos of this.
If anyone DOES know about a fix for a bug in EA downloader where it crashes out please let me (and anyone else who reads this) know.
Thanks.
When it crashes I get one of these:
