    The CD key is tied to your username, not a given install, right? Are you trying to sign up again or does this happen when you log in with your old username?

    Happens when i go to use my old account and create a new.

    Also nearly every name is taken at this stage, started making up crap and it still wouldn't work then eventually "ITOUCHBOYS" worked, but then the same problem with the CD key, but yet i got the email from EA saying "Welcome"..

    What happens? You type in your username and password and then what? If it starts whining about the CD key, are you sure you're using the very first account? Why did you start making more than one account at all?

    Right got the game on my old pc, could barely run, KDR was like minus 2.4 million.
    Made a new account when i got my new PC so i didn't have such a pathetic KDR.
    That worked well, then all though a bit of trouble getting the NS maps again.

    duno why but a while back i uninstalled the game, then installed it there, now it says Key code is registered with another account..

    Thats....odd. I'd have thought it should have given you that error when you first tried to make a second account on the same CD key. Have you tried logging in the first account?

    Deleting the second account and using the first might work, and visa versa could be successful too. You could just email technical support and explain the situation and ask for advice.

    I think i deleted all player Data in the 2142 folder...
    May have some affect on it.
