CD key error

[vybuni]

Hey all. I have two windows accounts on my computer and BF2 works just fine on one (the one that i installed it on), but when my brother opens it on his account, once he trys to join a server, it says that the cd key is not valid. Do you have any idea how to fix this? I couldnt install it again using my brother's profile, so i dont know what to do.

Re: CD key error

Does it not work on Seperate Windows accounts or BFHQ accounts?

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)


i havent tried it yet.. so who knows

That only works on the account it was created on.
