Anyone know what's wrong?

I now belive the problem is a scratched/cracked DVD.

Feel free to lock

Yeah.First off you start by downloading the correct files.Then you use the installation guide at the top of this forum to install it correctly.Then,if you've still got problems, you use the search button and the word "Vista".Then,if you've still got problems,you can start your own thread asking for help rather than just tacking your post on to another thread.

All fairly basic stuff really.

@ Leky.

Your installation path looks very weird.Installing to the default location seems to help.

Yours would look better like this

(C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Levels)

Right click on icon, make sure "run as administrator" and "run in windows xp compatibility mode" are selected. Then update/reinstall PB.
