Battlefield 2 Problem.

[The_KiD]

Ok I have recently upgraded and done a full re-install of windows and all programs.

However I was unable to re-install BF2 due to a scratch on the disk, so instead I put my old hard disk in a slave and had already exported the old registry before formatting, so simply editted the reg entries for BF2 so that it had the right paths and then entered it into my new registry.

No go.... everything works, but when I try to play I get "Your CD-Key is invalid" and it doesnt go.

I have tried a fix from EA forums that states to go to your BF2\support folder, run the Battlefield 2_code.exe and re-enter your CD-Key to update the registry.

No joy, same thing unfortunately.

Any ideas?

found this one for invalid keys :-

Problem - Invalid CDKEY when trying to join a server
Cause - Unencrypted CDKEY or bad Key
Fix - First Try this Program

ftp://ftp.ea-europe.com/UK_Support/EAGAMES/Battlefield_2/BF2CDKeyCheck.exe

If that does not help, Use battlefield2_code.exe to re-enter your CDKEY, this can be located in the support folder of where you installed battlefield 2 on your Hard-Drive.
After re-entering your CDKEY you must then reapply the latest patch in order for it to be encrypted into the registry.

not had that prob myself but try searching totalbf2 forums or bf2s, they hav some good indepth help guides
