I 've recieved the same error on my PC today. It played fine yesterday, but today i was booted for an invalid Cd-key.

I found the app "BF2 cd changer" is quicker and sometimes computers don't like that way in that link (mine doesn't), i'll see if i can find it.

edit: http://www.filecrop.com/xp-cd-key-changer.html FOUND IT!! The first one on the list, no need to sign up to download.
I know it says BF hacks but it can only be used to change your cd-key (AFAIK)
Used it many times when i get that bug (just recently when i installed 0.91)

thanks for reporting!

please make sure to follow this template when reporting a bug in the futur.

don't know if this will simplify or complicate matters about this.

I was able to get my game to run online again today without changing anything. However, I was logged in as an admin for my computer today. I only recieve the error on a standard user account.

ok don't take this personally but where did you get your copy of BF2?
sometimes buying it over the net means the key has been used before being sold or (don't know if this is posible) but region lock?
Think that is what happened with my BF2:SF cd-key

Only other thing i can think of is checking if your in-game name is the same as the one your put in your EA account (the one you created when you registed the game) in-game name area. Happens to people so just double check that.
Otherwise you might have to create another thread in PRtech support (much more helpful than EA)

Tell me if this makes sense (it was hard to explain)

when you change your cd key you need to run the 1.41 patch to re encrypt it, install the 1.5 patch and THEN install pr
