damn BF42 wont work

since when i installed the new FH i got loads of problems with BF. at first i could play just fine right after i installed it. after a few days, however, just as i would join a server, the game would switch to windows and give me a windows error (you know, the one that tells you PLEASE TELL MICROSOFT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.. yeah right as if anyone even used that). i have uninstalled the game 2 times alredy. the first time i uninstalled it i installed everything gradually, first Bf42, then RtR, then SWoWW2, and then the various mods that i have (DC, then EoD, then the new FH). i tried playing and i could play EoD just fine. i remember being afk for a while while in the EoD server, and when i came back i was in windows. i tried restarting, but i got the same message. whenever this game fault occured, i could not join ANY server with ANY mod active (or for that reason even WITHOUT any mods active, i tried vanilla BF42 as well).
just today i tried uninstalling and reinstalling AGAIN. this time, i installed BF42, patched it, and then installed ONLY EoD. as soon as i joined NS EoD... got kicked back to windows with that same goddamn error message.
what the hell is going wrong?
and after every uninstall i removed EVERY file in my battlefield folder.
i do not use cracks, and i definitly do not, nor will i ever use any kind of 3rd party programs such as bots and that shiet.

anyone got any ideas what is wrong? or should i just wait till i format (wich will take a while). i miss blowing up bonez and ash!

Ack, that's horrible. If you uninstalled it and then took all the files out, that means the only thing that is left in the registry? Did you delete any EA or mod related keys? You only have one hard drive, right? (Otherwise we may have another problem. What does the error say or does it just say it stopped working?

yes, one brand new harddrive.
i didnt delete the registry keys. i removed everything via uninstall program. i think ill check for keys tomorrow. maybe i still have some FH keys or some crap like that.
