Re: BF2 (legit) locks up at splash screen
Well bro I have a Dell 9300 also and same problem. Did a bunch of digging and it looks to be an optical drive issue. The TS-L532B drive in my 9300 can;t read certain kinds of the copyright protected discs. So when we hear the drive spin up and then nothing it's because the drive is not reading the copyright stuff correctly. I am online with Dell support to see if I can get a different drive. Stay tuned....
UPDATE: Well contacted Dell......first mistake. I was using the online chat support for over an hour and after all that all they could tell me is there was something wrong with the "3rd party" discs. Gave me some kind of 800 number to call. What a bunch of ...... Well I took it upon myself and ordered a new NEC drive from Newegg for $80 (Dell had the same drive $200!!). I am going to swap the drive and see what happens.
