Vista 64 and BF2 Problem

[Scoobie Dave]

Been using Vista 64 Bit and im loving it. Installed BF2 and everything went ok but im getting a message pop up when I try to play online "LOCERROR_cdkeynotvalid" which I have never had before. I have no trouble with Vista 32 Bit and XP so its definately a valid key as I have been using it for ages!

Does anyone know a work around for this problem?

Its running fine here, only issue is you need to run as admin so that punkbuster can do its thing.

however try this as I did get that issue on xp on my laptop:

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.
