2142player is on a distinguished road
Hi Guys,

I'm a total noob who has never used a no DVD fix.

I clicked the disk icon on the 1.40 Game Copy World page and then saved the 5.67MB file to one of my folders.

When I double click on it it opens in my Notepad as a bunch of unreadable mess...

The instructions say to extract the file somewhere, but when I right click the 5.67MB file I don't have Extract to as an Option.

Does anyone have any very specific total NOOB instructions for installing this no-DVD fix???

(FYI - I have the 2142 retail DVD game fully installed and I applied the full 1.40 patch already.
And I effing HATE EA and think that a class action lawsuit for fraud should be brought against them for selling games that do not work, games which cater to a protected group (minors) in which they take advantage of by taking their money and giving them games that fail to even start up. I'm a top battlefield 2142 player (or was) until my game stopped working - "Ding" - Please insert 2142 CD in the drive and select Ok to retry" - I've seen that message about 1,000 times, and reinstalled the game about 15 times, but no matter what tricks or bull sh*t suggestions I follow given to me by crap EA tech support my game will not start up - I am desperate to just be able to play the darn game that I paid $50. (and $10. for Northern Strike) for - PLEASE HELP ME).
