Ive tried with 2 differnet sets of disks.

it get the error at this point songhua_stalemate\client.zip

tells me to try installing fromt he beginning.Ive tried everything.Completely removing the game,I even tried copy a working BF2 off my old computer but it causes me to crash when i try to load mulitplayer\singleplayer games.

Re: help installing

For some reason, EA games dont like to be installed with programs running in the background. if you havent already I would suggest you use the MSconfig to turn off everything under your startup, reboot the computer and try the install again.

Re: help installing

OK BF2 is now now installed...seems you have to use all matching disks for it to work properly.But now i am afraid to patch for fear that i will get that patch failed error then BF2 will be fubar...you think if i copied my old working files off my old computer onto my new one then over right the files which are patched it would work fine??
