oh yea and the exact error message i get is after it sits with the 2142 little pop up window before the game opens it says "Please insert the battlefield 2142 install disc in the drive and click ok to retry"

right click on the 2142 icon then click the compatability tab see if the compatability box is checked or unchecked

are you by any chance using Daemon tools, or any other virtual drives? try disabling them. as in no more virtual drives.
also YASU is also know to cause this problem.

Nah that's not it when i had the problem it wouldn't work, then i switched to vista (which does suck for games) using the same disk and it worked

yes it does. Most windows os suck. Dam monopoly. Far too bloated and with little improvement.

Alright, maybe you could give us a little more info...

- Could you please list your system specs?
- Do you have a special sound card?
- Is your CD drive not the usual Drive D:?
- What's the exact error message you get?
- And like the others suggested, have you tried running in a different compatibility mode?

nope, I don't have it running on any compatibility mode. I've never had any issues like that.. maybe his disk is scratched.. you could check and see if there is any scratches on it
