Or you could either 1) give us a direct link, 2) post the fix here instead of trying to whore your site up.

I assume this is the post he is talking about: http://bf2sf.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=43

Basically it says he removed memory.

But that's the first thing any smart person would do. Either remove all memory and start machine with 1 at a time until you find the bad stick(s) or run MemTest86 to test you memory.

That may work for him, but there are others (1 in my clan) who have this problem. And he hasn't found anything yet that helps. For a long time he wasn't even able to get it running with the 1.03 patch.

He's tried everything he can.

As already posted pretty much everywhere a LOT of people have fixed the modified contect error by running memtest (from memtest.com) and finding errors with their RAM. Take out the 'bad' ram and you'll be able to install the patch/SF and then put it back in to play.
This advice was posted on the EA site for the 1.1 patch last August think

Some though have perfect memory (define by memtest) and still have the problem.

i only have one stick of ram

I fixed the modified content error I got when trying to load SF. I had tried reinstalling patches but it still didnt work.

Went to add/remove program files
Removed SF
Removed BF

Reinstalled BF
Reinstalled SF
Patched using full 1.2
Added 1.2>1.21 incremental patch

(I would have done the 1.21 full but I already had the 1.2 full + new so I went with that one)

*note-i did not mess with the registry
*note-i did not mess around with my ram as some suggest
*note-could have saved my key binding file but wasnt worth the trouble

So even though it was a major pain in the *** it worked, had to reset key bindings but I am getting good at that, also had to reoptimize shaders but all in all still faster than screwing around with it forever. Plus, my BF2 seems to run even better now, although SF still loads PAINFULLY slow... I think it keeps optimizing shaders everytime, but so what I just wanted my new unlocks dont care about SF as a game.
