If your dads smart, then he probably blocked the install block for that certain game so you aren't able to reinstall it without his permission.

Get better grades, and ask your dad to reinstall it for you. :whistling:

Did you check My Computer to see if a CD is there? It should appear when you insert the CD under "Devices with Removable Storage". If so, just click on it. If it still doesn't respond, it's probably what belg said.

Hope this helps!

EDIT- If you have above an 85 in every class, with two core classes(math, English, science, history) A's, your fine. If your getting alot of C's, then you should wait a bit on gaming, and try to focus the most on math. Dads think math is most important I think.

Yeah, I would guess he has 'Administrator' rights on your computer, and you are a sub-user without program installation rights (i.e. You don't have 'Administrator Authority' to install it). Don't cheat your Dad. If he found out you reinstalled it without his permission, one of 2 things will happen:
1) He'll applaude your resourcefulness, or
2) He'll snap your BF2 disc in two.

I agree...get better grades.

Well I would like to know what classes you're taking...

And do what Hobo said, but don't make it so your dad will want to kill you...

You do realize your future is more important than video games, right?

If your grades are getting worse, it might be a good idea to stop playing for a while.
Just a thought.
