If creating a new account solves the problem (basically starting with a new profile with defauly settings), then you can go into your documents folder and delete the profiles. Then run the game again and retrieve any accounts you have created. You'll need to remember the passwords.
There other ways of doing the same thing without deleting the profiles.

This is late in coming Matsif, I realize that. But for you and anyone else interested in knowing how to overcome the above stated problem, I post this now.matsif wrote:new problem:

Before installing your game, copy the install disc to the hard drive. Install from that copy and you should get a good install. The typical pc freezes up during install when encountering data that is possibly corrupted or just on a scratched up cd. Once on a hard drive where the speed advantage is like comparing skateboards to a Navy Hornet on afterburner, your pc has a much better chance of getting through the traffic snarl.
Also remember to shut down all background apps you dont need at that point in time, clean your cd with a third party disc cleaner or something slightly polishing in nature if the cd is heavily scratched, like toothpaste. Not the jell kind, just regular old school is best. Then clean again with disc cleaner or alcohol.
Never wipe cd's in a circular motion, never! Wipe straight across, at right angles to the digital tracks, as any scratches you put in the cd in that direction will be ignored by the cd player.
Even PC's in the best of tune with brand new media to work with will and do slow down and even stall or freeze during install. It is really common with games involving multiple cd's or come on a dvd. Just got to be patient, meticulous and not forget or blow off any of the steps along the way bro.
I got to where I could uninstall bf42, all the mods and maps as well as patches and reinstall it all in less than 30 mins. I did it several times during battledays and under the gun to get back to the server and play.
It's all in the steps along the way and of course keeping up on what is working for guys in your game community. I even had the chance to write troubleshooting copy for EA games involving registry edits and how to get bf42 to reinstall when your pc refused to let it back on the hard drive.
This is the game that never stops giving, it takes way more but still........................
