I am with Talus here. If you lost your CD-Key, why would you come to these forums? Wouldn't you contact EA?

Re: System Restore? I'm about to cry.

To comment on all prior messages : I didn't lose my cd key yesterday. The game was already installed but the majority of files were missing because they weren't restore with System Restore.

Wow. My mom has found my other discs (two and three) but she presented them to me in those little slim jewel cases, which made me worry:

"Mom, Where's the case that I had them in?"
"Ooh, I threw that out cause it was too big, I put them in these nice little cases"

/ME CRIES :cry:

I emailed EA, hopefully they have my CD key on file. I think I regged it, but im not postive. If worse comes to worse, looks like i'll have to buy a new copy anyway.

gutted mate

rule 1) never let your parents near you pc games and if you own your own pc not even near that!!!

rule 2) parents very rarely understand the importance of these games so keep boxs and cds away from site of parents

I did a full system restore to a week ago and the registry restored itself and i found my cd-key in there. Yay me.

You CD-Key may still be on your computer. Double check the following location:

Start > Run > type in "regedit" Now navigate to...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > ELECTRONIC ARTS > EA GAMES > BATTLEFIELD 2 > GECH (something simular, can't remember it off hand, and I'm on my laptop currently).

Your CD-KEY will be located as a value inside of this directory. Write it down and staple the paper to your forehead. Or if you're like me, you can write it directly onto the CD, so you are sure never to lose it.

Also, for your sake it maybe a good idea to burn a back-up copy (FOR BACKUP PURPOSES ONLY!) and keep it in a safe place. You can also write the key on these CDs so you have 2 copies which you shouldn't loose!

Re: System Restore? I'm about to cry.

Well since you have your discs and your original CD key I think it makes sense to close this so that people like iconfat can't post their stupid suggestions for warez.
