Warning: don't run this program:
C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\Support\Battlefield 2_code.exe
the story: I was looking into some cdkey problems and read about this program that lets you re-enter your cd-key. I figured I would check it out so I ran the program. A window popped up with spaces to enter the cdkey. I made note of it and hit 'cancel'. Later on when i tried to play online the game would just crash to desk upon joining a server. a quick google and I learned it was a cdkey problem. I checked the registry and my key was gone. the program had deleted it, even after I canceled it.
More googles later and I found the fix:
so, while this was a pain in the ***. I learned you if you have cdkey problems you can re-enter your key, then run the BF2CDKeyCheck.exe program without having to do a full re-install + patch.
