It seems that you can install this patch over the top of the 1.02 (hot fix patch)
(eg if you have the 1.02 patch installed already then you just forget about it and install the new 1.03 171MB patch,
Have you got enough space on your hard drive, normally C: ?
The patch needs around 171MB (175,576 KB) ish.
1) Create a file in your hard drive rename it BF2 Patch v 1.03 Patch (normally C) (when the Patch v 1.03 is saved in this file in your PC it will save all the hassle and your bandwidth of downloading it again if you need to reinstall the patch and you will know were to find it.
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 1.03" (or right click on the new file click > rename and rename it "BF2 Patch v 1.03"

How to > the file "BF2 Patch v 1.03" should still be showing as the designated file where the patch will be saved so just save it or use the "Browse" and locate to were you saved it to.
NB patching may "fail" Due to various reasons like "connection interruption" (Ci's) or the downloading sever being under a lot of stress, it's not your fault you just have to hang in there and re-download from the EA or a mirror site again.
Check the size of the downloaded patch to the size above if its not similar then you need to "re-download"
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) You "now" at this time, may wish to empty your temp files and defragment your... Hard Drive / Drives before starting BF2.
7) If needed to reinstall the patch because, say, that you reinstalled BF2 find the file you created, open it, and double click the icon to start the patch install.
