Okay, I'm a little cheesed...
I've been playing the BF2 demo for a couple of weeks, love the game, bought the game. Went to install today, the splash screen loaded, install screen started, clicked "next" and it just froze there :hotbounce .
I could hear my cd rom spooling up, but no activity at all. After about 4 minutes of that an error message of sorts popped up saying (paraphrasing) there was a problem with the CDKey.exe and the install will have to close. It made and I sent the report to Microsoft with no solution as of yet. BTW, about halfway through that process with no activity happening, I brought up the Task Manager and in Applications, the BF2 install was the only thing running, in Processes a BF2 cd code listed.
I uninstalled the demo prior to the attempted install(s)(tried 3 times), everything on my rig is up to date...no BF2 for me
As I have cruised around this forum for a bit, I read a number of posts relating to problems after installs and patches, I feel pretty comfortable with all the help here if I ever get mine going.
My rig specs at a glance:
ASUS mobo, A8 S-X
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
1 gig DDR400 / PC 3200 RAM
12 gig available on Maxtor HDD
GeForce 6800 GS 256
standard ATA cd rom
using onboard Sound Max 6.1 (no speakers, only use headphone/mic :grinthumb )
Windows Xp Home
McAfee virus/privacy/firewall protection - disabled for (failed) install
PLEASE HELP
