I just bought this game and it refuses to get past disc 4 in the installation. I know that this game will run on my system since I have a number of high requirement games. Can anyone tell me what the heck is going on? I have already contacted EA about this and so far nothing from them.

You really need to provide more info for anyone other than a psychic to help you.
Things like:
What was the error?
Does the CD Player even read the CD?
Is the CD scratched or can you see a hole in the media area?
Since you did not list anything other than "it refuses to get past disc 4 in the installation", I could ask even the basic of questions like, "Did you try inserting the CD into the Player?". OK, that was just being sarcastic as to show you that your post is missing a lot of info needed to even start to help you.
To help you to make better posts, try these links first:
How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

How to ask questions
Here is a small part that should help out:Before You Ask
Before asking a technical question by email, or in a newsgroup, or on a website chat board, do the following:
Try to find an answer by reading the manual.
Try to find an answer by reading a FAQ.
Try to find an answer by searching the Web.
Try to find an answer by asking a skilled friend.
When you ask your question, display the fact that you have done these things first; this will help establish that you're not being a lazy sponge and wasting people's time. Better yet, display what you have learned from doing these things. We like answering questions for people who have demonstrated that they can learn from the answers.
Prepare your question. Think it through. Hasty-sounding questions get hasty answers, or none at all. The more you do to demonstrate that you have put thought and effort into solving your problem before asking for help, the more likely you are to actually get help.
Beware of asking the wrong question. If you ask one that is based on faulty assumptions, J. Random Hacker is quite likely to reply with a uselessly literal answer while thinking "Stupid question...", and hoping that the experience of getting what you asked for rather than what you needed will teach you a lesson.
Never assume you are entitled to an answer. You are not; you aren't, after all, paying for the service. You will earn an answer, if you earn it, by asking a question that is substantial, interesting, and thought-provoking — one that implicitly contributes to the experience of the community rather than merely passively demanding knowledge from others.
On the other hand, making it clear that you are able and willing to help in the process of developing the solution is a very good start. "Can someone provide a pointer?", "What is my example missing?" and "Is there a site I should have checked?" are more likely to get answered than "Please post the exact procedure I should use." because you're making it clear that you're truly willing to complete the process if someone can simply point you in the right direction. -

Re: Battlefield 2 Deluxe
When I put in disc 4 it runs for around 3 minutes without any movement on the progress bar and then it tells me that it failed to install Battlefield 2 Deluxe. I have already checked with the manual and the other things on ea site to fix it and nothing. The disc does has a small pin-strip scratch of not less than 1/2" long by less than 1mm wide. I had other games that had aq few scratches on them and yet they install perfectly.Comment
