    Hello, well here's the o' issue. When I got this 7805u I could install any game no problem. Now I'm running raid 0 with 2 wd 320gig drives and Battlefield 2 installation just hangs. I dunno whats wrong, I tried running in win xp mode, and run as admin but it still does the same thing... Any ideas?

    I may not have an answer, but I do have a question:

    At what point exactly does Battlefield "hang"?

    This trick may not work for you, but it has for others when installing a game:

    Copy the entire CD to your HD.

    Run the installation from your HD.

    I've had to do that before.
