I installed BF2142 (legit) and everytime I click on it to run it, I get an error "BF2142.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close...."

What's wrong with it?

I have tried reinstalling it with the latest EA patch for it but still the same problem.

Any help in getting it to run?

dont know roshan, download the no-cd crack that will work

Sorry we don't do illegal stuff here.

Btw I love your animated pic Roshan. I gave up playing bf2142. Got high speed internet and I still got server connection errors a lot anyways.

Do you have the demo installed? cos there was a big problem with the demo causing that error message.

[*MAFIA* Scooby]

i have the actual cd.  i use the cd when playing it.  have also tried and iso of it but still same prob.

did you install some driver or an update before it happened?

[*MAFIA* Scooby]

no.  all i have for this game is the patch update, which came out a long long time ago. i tried running the game with and without the patch installed but it hasn't worked.

[*MAFIA* Bonehead]

can you play other games with no problem? and in case bf is ur only game is your dx files ok? start, run, dxdiag, dxfiles.

[*MAFIA* Scooby]

BF2 and 1942 run great, no problems there.  PB is also good, no old versions or anything like that.  Display drivers are also good.  DX also up to date, dxdiag says no problems found for the files..  No probs with the PC.

I don't have the game, but I have seen this problem fixed with BF2... Go into your profiles and find the folder that uses the last name you signed on with when playing 2142 and delete just that folder... Your default profile will let the game start, but you will have to re-make the profile you just removed.

Like I said I don't have the game so I am guessing, find the profile at...

C:\Documents and Settings\Steve\My Documents\Battlefield 2142\Profiles

Open each folder (name of, 0001, 0002 and so on) until you find the name you last played with and again delete that folder, the name will be in the Profile.con file.

or

If bf2142 has it, just rename the Global.con file (to Global.BLK, just in case you need it) that should be found in the path I gave above. Again this in turn will make BF2142 start up on the default profile, BUT that is not going to fix the crash "if" it is happening because of the last name you signed on with.

I don't have that folder, it used to be there but I think i deleted it a long time ago.

C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\Settings\Profiles 
I have that which leads to custom and default profile folders.  Should i just delete everything inside them?

Didnt find a global.con file in there.

I am kind of confused... I would have to assume that the game wouldn't run with the folders you say you removed from my above path. Did you try to run the game after you removed the files?

In any case just remove "custom" from that path (C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142\mods\bf2142\Settings\Profiles), do not remove default. See where that gets you.

Remember the only thing bad that can happen here is a new install, BUT we would have to some cleaning that it is very possible that BF2142 will not do for you.

Ok I got it to work.  I reinstalled it again and instead of using an iso image of the disc and putting that into a virtual drive, I just used the actual disc.  It seems to work like that, but I dont wanna keep inserting the disc in everytime so I'll make another copy of it.

Thanks for the assistance loaded!

Not sure how I helped, but your welcome... You got it working that is what matters.
