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).

The file from the website is an archive file, in this case a .rar archive. You will need to install a program that can open .rar files. I suggest winrar from www.winrar.com

Ok, so I thought it was successfull. I was able to play, connect, etc. just fine right after using the patch and crack.

Now I have rebooted, and am having some problems, but I'm not sure if it's the crack or what. I'm having trouble joining servers. It's slow as hell to connect, and very slow during the loading process. By the time it hits about 50% loaded it basically freezes. The computer itself down't necesarily freeze, the cursor is animated and moves, appears to respond to ctrl alt del but has a hard time getting out of the game.

Thanks, I did that and the 1.40 crack doesn't work for me, but the 1.25 crack works fine...

I even did an Uninstall of 2142, then rebooted, then reinstall and then a patch to 1.40.
Then I extracted the 4 files to my Program Files/Battlefield 2142 Folder, but I get the error message to
"Please insert CD..." everytime I try to start the game.

I got really excited that the 1.25 crack worked...(game started up fine with no CD!!!, but you can't join any servers b/c you have to patch to 1.40) I feel I am so close to getting this to work - PLEASE HELP!

Are there any other things i can try???

I de- and reinstalled 2142.

2142 -> 1.25 -> NS -> 1.40 -> Crack -> "please insert 2142 dvd[...]"

My clanmate only copied the files in his directory and it works fine
