I briefly searched threw the first few pages, but didn't any answers to my issue.

I decided to *finally* pickup BF2142... the PC DVD version I have is the Deluxe Edition that comes with the Northern Strike expansion pack.

The core 2142 installed ok and was able to play that, but for some reason, I cannot play NS. Trying to connect online, I receive a message saying that I have "install" the game, but it is already installed.. at least I think it is.

After installation, I have a shortcut to "Activate Northern Strike", so I go there, pick a 'persona', but nothing seems to happen after that.. is there another step I am missing here?

Here are the steps listed in order to activate..

5. Visit the Activation website
6. Enter the Activation Code and click Submit & Continue
7. Enter your EA e-mail account and password into the appropriate boxes and click Continue
8. Ensure the checkbox next to your 2142 Persona is checked and click Continue
9. Your chosen name will now be displayed at the top of the page under “Choose an existing persona” – ensure the button is checked and click “Submit and Continue”
10. If you do not have an EA e-mail account, select “Screen Name Login” and follow the instructions to upgrade your 2142 Persona to an EA e-mail account.
You will receive a confirmation message that the game is linked.

On item #8, there is no checkbox, just a selection of my in-game names.. so I select one and that's it. There is no Submit and Continue.

What do I need to do to in order to get this booster pack to work? Any help is appreciated.
