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?

Glad you figured it out. I think EA does cryptic messages to keep everyone guseeing including themselves.
