Thanks all. I had the same problem that it wouldn't let me uninstall (wtf?). I bet it's an EA corporate scam so we can never get rid of their products if we wanted to.

No,...................... it's because you don't install things properly in your Hard drive!

He he, exactly :laugh:

If by not installing properly you mean I chose something other than the default directory then yes I didn't install it properly. I had the same problem, tell me the proper way to click next from now on and maybe all my programs will be uninstallable... oh wait, they all are apart from BF2.

i disagree with that remark, i could not uninstall BF2 either and i installed it to the default location. and yes, i know how to use a computer. this game has problems, period.

had better luck with BF1942 + BFV. :rolleyes:

[TRIGRHAPPY]

How can you do this to BF2 Special forces? Now it won't uninstall and I have no idea what registry key to delete?

go into run menu (WINKEY+R) in start menu, type CMD and OK. This opens command prompt.

Navigate to the folder where files you want to delete are, e.g.

c:\>CD Program files\ea games\battlefield 2
del /s *.*

first command Changes Dir and second Deletes all files and folder below the current folder.

answer y if it ask for your confirmation and if you are sure it is the right folder you are deleting from.

[FlatStik]

Super fly that usally means that BF2.exe is running in your memory somewhere dude maybe from if it crashed or something....just restart ya comp man then you should be able to delete it.

OMG you saved me and my dad from commiting suicide (j/k). We were so bored without BF2.

[[SoP]d4rk4$$4$$n]

Okay, so i decided to reinstall BF2 to try to fix some issues, and now, whenever it shows the log in screen or the menu for the first time, the background is all grey. After i join and then disconnect from a server, this goes away. Does anyone know why this is?
