Norton, you have Norton security software on your pc... OMG, you do need help . The 'invalid CD key' complaint is quite common after a reinstall.... check through the 'help' threads, plenty of help there.... also, I'm not sure why you're uninstalling the SF game.... is it because of the graphics problem we talked about earlier? if so, there's always a solution to that problem... we talked about it earlier
Ryan... I hope you get all of this resolved, you're missing out on a pretty good expansion.
Have a look on some of these threads for SF help info > http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=6686 and my favourite > http://forums.bf2s.com/viewtopic.php?id=6275 (because it's mine) .
Good luck Mom, you deserve it..... this game nearly made me bald

The invalid CD key got me for the first time when I wanted to play. I just searched EA's help area and it tells you exactly what to do.
'Invalid CD key' error after installing the patch.
Answer
Sometimes a conflict in the updated files can prevent the game from properly identifying your CD-key. Usually, refreshing your CD-key will resolve the issue. Note that this will only correct the error if you used the same Windows account to install, patch, and troubleshoot the game. If you have switched Windows accounts at any point it is recommended you uninstall, reinstall, and repatch using the same Windows login.

Just when you try to join it gives you this really annoying "Your CD key isnt valid cuz ea haxxors" message and you look over at the box you just opened, and was sealed and was purchased from Best Buy or somewhere else.. and go.. hmm.. wtf over?

Everyone needs to cut this kid a littile slack. It probably isn't his computer but a family computer. Therefor, it's his mum's responsibility to keep it up and running for everybody.
Bottom line, if you aren't helping them then STFU.
