Uninstall it all (including BF2142), reinstall BF2142 and the 1.40 patch, then install FS 1.2, then the new hotfix.

Hi,

I have just installed the hotfix and gone to start the game and it will not load.
it says:
"Please ensure battlefield 2142 Install disc is in the drive, select OK and restart the application"

But the disc is in and it was fine to play before installing the hot fix.

Any ideas??
