ty but i dont understand why it tells u to repeat the cd key x9392 thingi so much?

and do u use brackets after the x9392? when typing key in

Listen, its fairly simple.

START
RUN
REGEDIT
HKEYLOCALMACHINE
SOFTWARE
Electronic Arts
EA Games
Battlefield 2
ergc

Now click on ergc and youll probably see, on right side, only a combination of numbers X9392, without spaces or brackets, type up your CDkey right after it, so it looked like x9392XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and thats it.

Its in simple terms, I dont understand how you can not get it...
