I am having serious problems with reinstalling BF2. It worked fine until I tried to reinstall SF. Today I decided to reinstall the whole series from the begining. Now BF2 freezes when I put in the second disk, just like when I tried to reinstall SF. They always worked before until now. Can anyone help me?

Give us everything that happens, in sequence, when you try to install.

I put in the second disk of BF2 and click next, and my whole computer freezes up. Thats it. I have to turn my computer off and start over. This is the third time taht this has happened.

Sounds like one of your disks is scratched, or corrupted. You can try cleaning them, if all else fails let me know and Ill send you some software I wrote that will try and make a disc image from your discs. Then You can burn yourself a new copy. This works as the Installer has a set number of retries before it freezes or returns an error wheres disc imaging programs often do not.

If it is a scratched disc get one of those disc polishing systems. I had one and repaired some of my son's discs before.

Thier is a small scratch on disk one of BF2 but not on disc 2, nor on any of the SF cd's. Thanks for your input guys im still plugging away at it here.

I tried installing COD4 and it showed an error message during the install. I checked the event viewer application error's and it said BF2 hangup error. I'm so lost right now.

Hmmm... Don't be offended but do you have enough space on you HDD? Do you have another optical drive you could try? or another HDD?

Well I System restored my computer. And now when I start BF2 it gives me this error message. Error mods/bf2/shaders/lightning.fx not found!! This all just worked until I tried to reinstall SF what the hell is going on?

Run the 1.41 patch and you're good to go. Trust me .. same thing happened on scottn44 's computer... but wait.. lemme edit

Once bf2 is installled... you install SF then you will get that error until yuo run the 1.41 patch. again.

Nope tried that my computer froze again while starting the second disk. I'm lost for words as to how this has happened, now I know why I play consoles. There is nothing I can do now. Sorry guys I wont be playing BF now.

Funny thing.... Now I cant unistall BF2, it keeps telling me setup.exe has encounteres an error and needs to close. To the untrained a computer is mind boggling. Ive spent 5 hours since last night trying to get this to work, it worked fine two days ago!!! WTF! Sorry I need to rant..
