Battlefield 2 installation problem HELP!

[Matt 1980 L-82]

Hey Everyone,

I'm totally unskilled in computers, and I just found this forum for the purpose of asking this question.

I bought a new copy of Battlefield 2 for the PC, and when I try to install it, the first disc installs fine, but after it tells me to insert disc 2, it recognizes the disc, but just doesnt continue. I get no error message and the computer is not frozen. I tried pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and it doesnt say the program is "not responding".

I have tried the installation with all unnecessary background tasks shut off, virus scanners off and no other programs running.

The minimum graphics card is ATI radeon 8500, and I have an ATI radeon X300, I dont know if thats good enough or not, but it should be able to install anyway, and I run the game demo fine. I meet all the other requirements for sure.

If anyone can help me out with this I would really appreciate it.

I tried EA technical support, and got a message that even though it was within office hours, there was no one there.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Ok, is disk 2 scratched at all?? Maybe it is not picking up the data fully. Also, try clicking the "ok" thing when it says insert disk 2 instead of waiting for it to recognize it.
