So, i cleased my computer, uninstalling pretty much everything on it
I reinstall BF2, install the patch, try to play online and it tells me that my CD Key is not valid.
But it was perfectly fine when i first installed it. So i uninstall it and reinstall it about 3 times to try and make it work. It dosent
I try keygens, they dont work
I bought the game again (i have about 4 copys of BF2 at my place now :( ), it dosent work.

My question:
What is the problem and how can i fix it fast?

Is it my computer that is retarded, is it my online account with ea, what is it?

Plz help, i really want to play PR again

i know this sounds weird but its worked for me so many times when ive had bf2 installation problems. first get rid of the install you have now completely. uninstall it, then delete the bf2 folder. get rid of it all. then download the bf2 DEMO, [yes i said the demo] and install it. then after that just do a normal bf2 install with the full game. then install the bf 1.41 patch, then project reality {you ARE gonna install PR right? right?} the demo and the full install of bf2 should both be in the ea games folder. i know this sounds incredibly weird but its the only way i can successfully install bf2.

btw this thread should probly go in the help and hardware issues forum
