Re: northern strike help
I also downloaded northern strike from EA download and had to uninstall 2142, reinstall, then install northern strike, then the newest patch to get everything working. But I gather you can not even install northern strike because of the classic screen name message. Have you emailed EA?

Re: northern strike help
Glad you figured it out. I think EA does cryptic messages to keep everyone guseeing including themselves.

"NOTE: If you are activating a game that requires a base game to play (example: booster pack, expansion pack, stuff pack, etc.), you must select a persona that has played the base game. This will ensure that the persona used for the base game has access to the features and content activated by the game code. "
The only games I have from EA are BF2 and BF2142, the only account I have with them is the same name for both games.
Any ideas?
or do I just go and create a new name?

Re: northern strike help
I've emailed EA support guys. Looking at my ea.com account, it looks like I'd bought NS via download when it came out too.
But this is all on a fresh install, no idea where that download went, still only a fiver for it this time.
I'll let you know what EA come back with.
