re enter the cd key you have in the registry.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2\ergc

^^This is for Win64

Leave the x939 and then enter the key without "-"

like:

x9392GMRRRCDWSHYJSXXXXXXX


When you get the error again cantact EA.

Are you running the game as an admin? - right click, run as administrator?

What do you mean by "worst". What are the current symptoms?

Looks like you are down to those 3 options:
1. Reinstall BF2
2. Contact EA (btw: is that a punkbuster kick? then contact PB too)
3. Get a new CD-Key
Got a PROBLEM? Check this: PR:BF2 Installation Guide

I am also curious as to how following the guide could have made the situation worse.
