Re: Valid CD Error

Easy Just follow these steps and you should be fine:

Click Start.
Go to Run.
Type regedit and hit OK button.
Click on plus sign next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Click on plus sign next to SOFTWARE.
Double click on Electronic Arts folder.
Double click on EA Games folder.
Double click on Battlefield 2 folder.
Double click on ergc folder.
Data displayed will probably have x9392 only.
Right click on it and select Modify.
Type in x9392 and then your CD key.
note: don’t include hyphens.

Example: x9392(your Battlefield 2 CD key here)
If you have Battlefield 2: Special Forces

Click Start.
Go to Run.
Type regedit and hit OK button.
Click on plus sign next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Click on plus sign next to SOFTWARE.
Double click on Electronic Arts folder.
Double click on EA Games folder.
Double click on Battlefield 2 folder.
Double click on ergc folder.
Data displayed will probably have x9392 only.
Right click on it and select Modify.
Type in x9392 and then your Battlefield 2 CD key.
note: don’t include hyphens.
Double click on Battlefield 2 Special Forces folder.
Double click on ergc folder.
Data displayed will probably have x9392 only.
Right click on it and select Modify.
Type in x9392 and then your Battlefield 2 CD key.
note: don’t include hyphens.
note: do not use your Battlefield 2: Special Forces CD key.
Example: x9392(your Battlefield 2 CD key here)

This WILL solve your problem. Good luck mate.

Yeah. Depends if you have SF or no. If you only have BF2 follow the instructions on the top before it mentions SF.

Re: Valid CD Error

I have ergc in my registry. Take a look around once again. Dont mess around with wdc. If you cant find it you might have to do a re install. I recommend doing a manual uninstall and then reinstall in this order:

Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2 SF
Battlefield 2 EF
Battlefield 2 AF

Patch 1.41

For manual uninstall go to:

Remember, Dont do it unless you can find the ergc.

You cant do a manual re install. Just put in the cds/dvd in your drive and it should autoplay. That's it. After original BF2 is installed. Install 1.41 patch. K. Good luck pal.

P.S. I just added you man.

That's weird. It should have fixed it permanently. Did you follow the instructions in order? It has happened to me so many times and I have to do this only once and the problem is gone.

I also remember that you re installed BF2. Follow the instructions again and see what happens.
