BF2S Forums Help Me Please!

where would I do that?

Bit uncalled for.. just a thanks would of been fine... silly chavs of the nation today

also the streaming video comes in weird colors, and I cant really see what the video is playing.

ill do one right now.

It cant be my graphics card, because I couldnt download poker stars either.

Don't quote me on this, but are you running Windows XP on a limited account? If so, that's your problem. You need to be on an administrator account.

ive tried all of your suggestions and none of them have worked....im still getting an error.

Any other suggestions?

Reinstall Windows
I Know Its A Big Pain In The Ass But It Sounds As If You Got To Do It:(

My new patch wont install. I get an error. I downloaded it fine, but when I go to install it I get an error. " access is denied ( 0 x 5 ). Also I am having trouble watching streaming video. Maybe I deleted something while cleaning up my hard drive. Do I need to install a driver or something? Someone please help me.

thanks.

Problem - Patching Failed
Cause - System Dependant
Fix - The Exact cause is not really known in most cases, some people have more success in patching when using the FULL patches instead of the Incremental ones. In addition, the patch may be corrupt when downloaded so if you have problems try downloading it from several different sites to see if it works with any of them.

You could have faulty RAM, try running a program called Memtest86 to test your ram for errors. Also try removing a stick of RAM from the machine to see if it helps running on just 1 stick of RAM.

There is a possible fix Here http://forum.eagames.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=9586 which you may wish to try.

Problem - Not Enough Space
Cause - Need more space on your System Drive
Fix - The patches now require roughly 3GB of free space on your Hard-Drive, it will not usually look where Battlefield 2 is installed but on the drive where your operating system is installed.

But there's a workaround, (Important, Before changing the registry, read Warlord's Warnings just below the contents page at the top of this FAQ)

Open regedit.exe and search for this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir

It points to "C:\Program Files" by default. If you change the value to "E:\Program Files", the patch will look for 3000 MB free space on drive E instead of C.

So Change it to look on a Hard Drive that has enough space for the patch to run. After the patch is completed, change the registry key back to what it was before you edited it.

Peace Boris
