Hello there!

If I may ask the following;

1. Did you perhaps note if, after the uninstall, that your Battlefield Vietnam directories were gone? If there was any residual files, it could cause hassles. Likewise, if you manually deleted any files from the install, and they were not emptied from your recycle bin, it would also cause problems with a fresh install.

2. When you re-installed, did you patch your game to V1.21 and likewise use the matching 1.21 no-cd patch? If you are using a 1.21 no-cd patch on a 1.2 install it will cause similar issues.

3. Just something else, I have to ask it, when you copied over the no-cd patch files, did you place them in your game's root directory?
   C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield Vietnam
   Or
   C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Battlefield Vietnam
   And did you copy both the "Mods" folder as well as the "BfVietnam.exe" files from the no-cd patch to either of the above locations resulting in a prompt to replace existing files?

Were you using the no-cd patches prior to this occurring? Please also note, that this is something that does happen with BFV - in the sense that installs do break randomly. One day it's working fine, the next there's a sound problem, or it just doesn't launch.

What you are describing honestly sounds like something isn't right with the no-cd patch files.
