The only time I saw thatwas someone who was using daemon tools to mount an image instead of putting in a Cd. When we used a different image (actually a mini-ISO instead of the full length one he installed from) it worked fine.
note: I am not suggesting this is your case-- merely sharing my experience. -
Thanx for this, but i dont understand actually how to do that....

if all else fails...
well i had an issue where my bf2 just died in me and to fix it I had to reboot my router (to restore my connection) cuz it made me loose my ip. I had to reinstall the patch and it worked.
Try reinstalling the patch. if it doesnt work try reinstalling the game, if that doesnt work try uninstalling, and reinstalling
if that doesnt work do a search on ea's website for any known issues with your hardware since the new patch or try emailing them

Re-install your video drivers.
If that doesn't work, re-install DirectX 9.0c.
Some people have reported that if you keep on running the patch it will eventually put all the correct files into their spots. I got it direct from EA, and didn't have a problem with it at all.Comment

Sorry if it's a bit jumbled up etc, but i just cut and pasted this to save having to tell you to use the forum search tool! Plz read through "all" first then apply.
You only need to install the 1.02 (hotfix patch) for now, see below.
(not the 1.01 as well, forgetabout the 1.01 completely)
"When" the new patch 1.03 (and further patches) comes out, the 1.03 (and further patches) patch will come with instructions that "may be different" from these.
How to install patch 1.02 For BF2 correctly.
You must compleatly uninstall the game as told by EA first.
How to.......See Tyranus thread in this link.................. http://forums.totalbf2.com/showthread.php?t=15912
This will get rid of old patch issues !
You can't patch over a patch over a patch you may get away with it twice but its not recommended doing the patch more than once,...as it will cause conflict of files.
Have you got enough space on your hard drive?
The patch needs around 17MB.
1) Create a file in your hard drive rename it BF2 Patch v 1-02 (normally C:)
How to do it > Start > My computer > Drive where you wish to save the file normally C: > Right click > New > folder > enter the new name "BF2 Patch v 1-02" (or right click on the new file click rename and rename it "BF2 Patch v 1-02"
2) Choose a site to download the 1.02 patch link.... http://forums.totalbf2.com/showthread.php?t=16052 Click link.. click download.
3) When the small box comes up with "Run" "Save" "Cancel" click "SAVE" and save it in the above file.
How to > the file "BF2 Patch v 1-02" should still be showing as the designated file where the patch will be saved so just save it.
4) When saved it will ask you if you wish to Run "(you do wish this now)" so yes "Run" Ok.
5) It will take a little time to run let it.
It will tell you that you have patched successfully.
6) NOW "Do" the things in this link...... http://forums.totalbf2.com/showthread.php?t=16424
7) Run the game and have fun.
Issues you may have had when downloading / running patch........
If you get "patch failed error" this could mean.....
1) Your download, of files for the patch, did not complete properly. (re-download the patch and save it in a new file (renamed) then run.
2) Somewhere in installing, your bf2 game program files and/or the dl of the patch have become corrupted (for best results uninstall BF2 then reinstall the game and re-download the patch)
3) You did not have enough space on Hard Drive for patch.
Due to the lack of servers, if you are using the automatic, "Play Now" the issue could be that you are joining a server with high ping therefore the chances of you getting connection interruptions Ci's or the error message >>>" There is a problem with your connection" will be high risk.
The consideration for online players and EA is to use one or the other to join servers "not both".
Preferably choose your own server from a/the list manually.
This will help peoples connection rate and reduce lag in servers and players get to use low ping servers.
Get rid of the "PLAY NOW" option EA its foe Xboxes and play stations only.
Your FPS are more than good.
What server are you connecting to and what PING are you getting for the server before join it.
IMHO IT's not your rig but connection issues.
It's probably not your fault.
Use manual connection to connect to online game for smaller ping.
BTW did you know that the yellow bar on top of the yellow triangle next to the word ping...... once the page has loaded if you click on the before mentioned yellow icon twice, it will produce the ping list from smallest ping to largest.

This may apply to you Corporal Taylor and others. (try and read between the lines of the following).
You have corrupted files m8 the patch did not know which BF2 file to install to therefore you had to do it manually.
(you probably have had problems with the game before now and left some files in your drive) If I were you i would manually delete all bf2 files and reinstall)
I would look into it m8 if you want the game to run properly!
If you get "patch failed error" this could mean.....
1) Your download, of files for the patch, did not complete properly. (re download the patch and save it in a new file (renamed) then run.
2) Somewhere in installing, your bf2 game program files and/or the dl of the patch have become corrupted (for best results reinstall the game and re-download the patch)
3) You did not have enough space on Hard Drive for patch.
Of course you do this at your own risk!
I hope this helps.
