I'm trying for a work around to your problem..cause noone should pay to download and suddenly have BF2142 not even try and start.

Here are some suggestions before suing EA to have to re-format your system.

1.Depending on what you are clicking on to start BF2142..try an alternate method. Even going so far as going into C:/Electronic Arts/BF2142.
The game may not be accessing the right file. Probably not the case.
Try creating new desktop BF2142 that accesses the exe of the game? You may have to stear it with the correct parameters.

2.Temporarily disable every freaking adware, virus program, see if you can fire up the game afterwards.

3. Did you carefully follow the before mentioned EA solution to the letter? Try that fix again.

4. Do you have any emulating software active? (cd clone type programs).
DICE/EA is known to be George Orwell "1984" after the update patch... about that type of software...no matter how legit it is.

5. Post back here (other than having to re-format) how you got the game going! For others to benifit.
