I hold no responsibility for you screwing up your system. This guide is confirmed by 2142 Technical Support EA. Follow each step carefully!

____________________________________________

> Go to My Documents
> Delete the "Battlefield 2142" folder (backup any screenshots etc you may want)

> Go to My Computer
> Open the hard-drive you installed 2142 on (default is C:)
> Go to Program Files
> Open the EA Games (default) folder
> Delete the 'Battlefield 2142' folder

> Go to the directory '\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information' (You need to put the drive you installed Windows/2142 on, default is C:)
> You may need to show hidden files and folders. To do this, go to Tools > Folder Settings and click the setting to SHOW hidden folders.
> Delete the folder named '{ED50ECE9-EC54-4C05-B5ED-EE4741A9F2EC}'

This part gets tricky. Read over this before you do it, I hold no responsibility if you screw up. You are editing your registry so please, be careful.

> Click on the Start button
> Click on 'Run'
> Type in 'regedit'
> When the window opens up, go to File and then choose 'Export'
> Name the file as 'Backup' and make sure the Export range is set to all
> Click save, you'll go back to the Registry Editor window

> Click the plus sign next to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'
> Click the plus sign next to 'Software'
> Click the plus sign next to 'EA Games'
> Delete the Battlefield 2142 folder
> Just above 'EA Games' folder, you'll see a folder called 'EA Core'. Click the plus sign next to this
> Click the plus sign next to 'EA Games'
> Delete any Battlefield 2142 Folders
> Click the plus sign next to 'Microsoft'
> Click the plus sign next to 'Windows'
> Click the plus sign next to 'CurrentVersion'
> Click the plus sign next to 'Uninstall'
> Delete the folder called '{ED50ECE9-EC54-4C05-B5ED-EE4741A9F2EC}'
> A confirm key delete message may appear, hit yes.

Battlefield 2142 is now completely and manually un-installed from your system.
