BATTLEFIELD 2142 BIG PROBLEMS need help please

[Buck]

Hi carbon back again, ive tried a system restore but it only goes back to may this year but i installed the game back in2006 when the game came out or should i say thats roughly when i got the game.A guy at my work reckons i should set it back to factory settings but i am not sure how to do that. Plus will i not lose my other stuff that ive got on the P.C. MUSIC/PICTURES etc if i put it back to factory settings???  ANY other ideas mate.?

Yes DO NOT do a factory reset. You will revert your computer to the first day you gave it life.

I am afraid I am out of ideas at this point.

The only option I could think of now is to install Battlefield on another computer in a Sandboxed environment.
Then, since you deleted the files on this computer, copy them over from the other machine.
Logically, it should work. Computerally, it might not.

You interested in trying this? (if no one has anymore ideas)

it does'nt sound to good, i wouldnt know where to start.
 what if i put on a disc of all my piccys and stuff just burn everything on to discs & take a digital photo of my desk top so i will know what programes i have ?? would that work??

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

With my idea, you need two computers.

What you do is install Battlefield in a Sandboxed Environment on the good computer. This means we can see the changes being made and all the files are collected up.( I'll walk you through this part - hard to explain).
Then you need to copy the files from the good computer to the bad computer.
This should work because what you did with the bad computer is delete the files. This will replace the deleted files.

That's what I'm suggesting. If you're up for it, I'll walk you through it.

I will get my friend to install the game on his pc but will it work as he will need to put in the key code so i dont know if it will work as ive regstered it for battlefield.
is this what you think i should do. get him to install it in his system then copy it into mine??

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

You can try it but you will have to install it through Sandboxie.

You have to run the Battlefield setup through Sandboxie, and then copy the folder C:\sandbox over to your computer.
Then I will help you from there.

Hello every one,
i have a small broblem... my battlefield 2142 broke and i used my friends dvd to copy the image with alcohol 120 and i used Daemond tool lite to make a virtual drive so that i can launch the game but when it launches a error report appeares and says that i cannot run it from a backup. i enabled all the emulator from daemond tools 4.xx and no luck.So i googled and found a program that hides the fact that it is virtual. the program is caled PrOtStOp_v1.1. What are the steps i have to do for a successful play. This is  not illeagal i believe beacause im am doing this as my own own original dvd back up. (well my friends)....Please help...thx in advance..
