Got this off the wargeeks site:

Well my windows xp home expired so i installed xp pro on another drive.. didnt want to go through the whole shebang of reinstalling bf2 so i just did this

insert cd1... start install.. quit install as its coping files... this sets up the registry

go onto cd1.. run that cdkeyenterrerthingy.. to get the cd key in the registry

now copy game files to where you said you where installing it...

now copy old battlefield2 directory out of your old documents and settings into your new documents and settings

game is now playable!
total time about 4 minutes

havent tried EF or SF but i think i just need to add some more registry settings

If it does not work after that... then also try applying the patch after you have done the above.. it might sort out any issues you have.

why not just reload

it takes 15 minutes

Installing that patch, 1.4 i think, takes mother f#@$#@$@#ing forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BF2, there is only 1 thing that irratates me bout it.... the level loading times!

OMG! you could have NASA's SUPER COMPUTER and those levels will still take nothing short of FROEVER to load
