If you dont want to read my long story, just skip it and look at the bottom

So I just downloaded the 2142 demo, and i install it, and i open it. Naturally, being EA and me being me, it dosent work. It whines about not being able to find some file, and tells me to reinstall it. So I do, but of course it still dosent work. So next, i turn to EAs website for help. After going through thier 15 offical websites for the same game, i stumble upon the correct one. I click support, and it gives me tips on how to play as a sniper. It says if I want support, i have to get it in german or something like that. Screw that. I go to the EA main page, and find the tiny button that says support. I put in 2142, and 4 pages of stuff appear! yea! I find the right page, which is Here (http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=14167&p_created=1160065490&p_sid=1rWMkFni&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9NjgmcF9wcm9kcz03LDIwODcmcF9jYXRzPTAmcF9 wdj0yLjIwODcmcF9jdj0mcF9wYWdlPTI*&p_li=&p_topview=1)
I meet all the system requriments, which are also a pain to find, so I go to the next one on the list, and it tells me my drviers are out of date. So i click the ATI one, and i find my card, and now i am here.

If I download the second link here, http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/radeonx-xp.html
will that update my drivers or obliteterate my computer? Or something in between?
I will probably ask more questions later when it still dosent work.
Thank you!
Oh, and is the game worth this much trouble?

EA's lame. ADS in BF2142? No price drop to offset it? Shoveling non-working software out to meet deadlines? Sorry, not buying that game EA!

One year to FFOW (http://www.frontlineswar.com/), then we can forget about EA.

Rofl cause the ads are location oriented and I live in Australia = No ads for me.

Well, actually the ads are all served from a specific adserver, so if you just watched incoming packets for the IP and blocked it I don't think you'd see them. However, it just makes me annoyed that they'd do something like that in the first place, so I'm still not going to get it.
