Whenever I click an award on BF2142 the game crashes How do i fix this

This is a bug with patch 1.5. Uninstall everything. Then install BF2142, patch 1.4 then patch 1.5. If you also have Northern strike, then your install sequence should look like this: BF2142 Patch 1.4 Northern strike Patch 1.4 again (no joke) Finally patch 1.5 Last, update punkbuster using pbsetup.exe.
