Battlefield2 Demo now out!

[MisterChief]

that sucks, have you tried reinstallng?

Your troubleshooting prowess is outstanding . Sounds like a bad download; something got corrupted somewhere. I tried to download SiSoft Sandra about three times last month, each time the file was somehow messed up. I changed mirrors, and it was fine.

Rachel, what server did you download from?

[Rachel]

I have no idea. I downloaded it twice. From two different places. Tried them both and I got the same problem. It looks to me like something on my pc is blocking it. I gave a copy of the demo to my friend so I'll see how it turned out for him when he gets online.

Well, do you have any antivirus/firewalls enabled?

[Rachel]

Norton but I disabled it and it still doesn't work. I'm downloading the demo from EA FTP now.

Ok, that's the version I got, and it works for me. Let's see... do you have any registry cleaning utilities, like RegSupreme? And have you updated any drivers recently?

[Rachel]

No and no.

do you have SP2 on WinXP?

There you go. If you're new to .cfg/.con/command line tweaking, don't wory. It's easy and basically foolproof (kinda like HTML), as long as you have a backup. This is also a great way to "internally mod" your computer; it's fun and if you work at it, pretty rewarding.

Thansk for the Guide MC. How on earth do you guys survive with Norton? Bear in mind that this is my own opinion, but the thing is like a Virus itself. It gets in and then takes over your computer! I dunno what could be the problem though. Good luck with it.
