Re-install, Battlefield 2, don't patch it, then SF, it will patch to like 1.03 or something, then patch to 1.2 .

If you patched past 1.02 there is no way to tell the key unless you have a registry backup or system restore point from patch 1.02 or earlier (the key was stored in plain text until patch 1.03). You could just re-enter the CD keys in the registry of all four systems. See this thread in the support forum: http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45788 .

You only need the latest patch (assuming you downloaded the 300+ MB full 1.2 patch and not the smaller incremental one). And, as Sir. MrBubbles said, if you install SF you must install the patch after installing SF.

You know, Top Gun Greg, a period works just as good as an enter key.
