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

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

Re: game won't even start

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.

Re: game won't even start

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

Re: game won't even start

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"

Re: game won't even start

also i tried uninstalling and re-installing the drive itself and that didn't help at all either
