Ive been playing Battlefield 2142 now since it came out 1st class game by the way, anyway something came on my screen the other day wanting me to write files to disc, it was files & folders from the game i just closed it down and ever since then when ive tried to play the game all i was getting was audio & the options page where you PICK your weapons, and the mouse would not work every time i loaded the game it did this and on every server i went on. So i thought i would uninstall the game & reinstall it as you do, but no it was going on about it could not uninstall because it could not determine the path? what ever that means as i am a noob when it comes to this. so ive went and deleted all the files that i could find for battlefield 2142, then went back into add/remove progs and most of the prog was gone leaving only 10.38mb, and i managed to delete that, ssssssssssssooooooooo, now i cant find any trace of it on my P.C.

Download and run CCleaner. In the Registry section in CCleaner, Click Scan for Issues a few times and then Fix Selected Issues. Repeat this one or two times. CCleaner will prompt you to back up the registry. I suggest you do.ive tried that a couple of times i will do it again as ive just downloaded the apdated version of ccleaner will get back here in a couple of minutes Still no joy that terminate message keeps coming up. i think i am doomedHmmmmm......ok lets get back to the root of the problem.

The last thing I can suggest is a System Restore to a few days before this happened. If that doesn't do anything, maybe a System Restore to a few days before you install the game.

What Windows Version is this?

When you put the disc in, go to My Computer and Right Click the CD Drive (with the disc in it)
Go to Explore.
This will bring you into the disc. Find a file called 'setup.exe' or something similar.

Try that and post back. Hi there i tried the set up exe as you suggested but no joy.
