MD5Tool Mismatch: mods/pr/settings/sound.con

[w.WAREHOUSE]

I'm hoping someone might have an idea before I just reinstall PR...I hate screwing stuff up, but I jacked up my game last week.

I had a game crash and lost my saved in-game control settings. Rather than replace my: "C:\Users\Me\Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\" settings with a backed up copy like a smart person...I instead replaced my: "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\settings" like a freaking noob. Now I am getting a MD5Tool Mismatch for my "SOUND.CON" file in there. I don't even remember why I saved copies of all of the files in this settings folder in the first place...FML.

I tried deleting it and I also tried copying a friend's sound.con with no luck. I fear I might have to bite the bullet and reinstall PR. My question to you smart guys is where is that file getting its information from, and what is not matching that is pissing Punkbuster off so badly?

I think you're quicker off just reinstalling PR (given you didn't delete the installer).
Remember, it's BF2 that takes a long time installing, with all the patches.
Besides, it might be enough just reinstalling core, and you're done within 2 mins.
