Re: CD-key invalid .. STILL
If you have already tried the suggestions from the stickies then you should go and open a support ticket with punkbuster and at the same time contact GameStop about this issue. It is possible that the CD-Key is infact invalid - maybe GS will give you a different one.

E. Antivirus / Firewall / Spyware Blockers
Products from Trymedia Games and our partners are virus and spyware free. Internet security applications including virus scanners, firewalls, and spyware blockers may sometimes give a false reading which can interfere with our software activation process.
If you're seeing an adware alert at the beginning of the download, it is most likely caused by the advertisement that we display on our download manager application. Please be assured that this is not a virus or malware. The advertisement is only displayed during the game download, and it won't be downloaded, installed or saved on your computer.
To correct this issue you have several options:
1. Temporarily disable your security application until you have downloaded, installed, and activated your product.
Note: Trymedia strongly recommends that you re-enable your security software after activating your product. Disabling your security software is of your own discretion, and Trymedia disclaims any liability or claims for damage arising from your decision to disable this program.

Re: CD-key invalid .. STILL
I am not exactly sure either.
What they are suggesting is deactivating any software that might interfere - usually security software like Firewalls and Anti-Virus.
"Your difficulty activating your product" and the thing about internet explorer is totally strange to me. Maybe they are thinking that you are trying to "activate" / register BF2 with EA - this is not the case you should clarify that this occurs when trying to play on an online server that is PB secured. But as soon as you write about Punkbuster they will redirect you to them.

Re: CD-key invalid .. STILL
I solved my problem by restarting my router so my IP adress changed.
As far as I know, on certain rare occasions the EA master server still reads your CD-Key like you are in a game. While the CD-Key is in use it will show the dreaded "Your CDkey is invalid".
Restarting your router connection (or plug out the power cable if you don't know how to) will most likely solve your problem.
Try it and come back with results.
