You got several choices, firstly you could go get a nocd crack from here,
gamecopyworld.com
Did you save the download to your desktop? if not down load it again and do that first, then uninstall it, delete any folder that it might have used to save games mod etc, then run CCleaner, next turn off your PC, turn it back on run CCleaner again just to make sure, ensure there are no registry key issues by running Ccleaner in this mode. now reinstall from the desktop. when its installed don't run it, make sure you un tick the box that auto runs it, don't register it yet, just make sure its done installing, turn off your computer, back on again, right click and run as admin, and in and older version of windows, Run the game, wait and check for error messages, if you get an error message post it here, if it won't run, install the crack you downloaded earlier to the install folder in my computer main game files, run from this folder.
Can't think of anything else right now but if there is any error message post it and I will check into it for you.
any message about dll. is normally a corrupt file in the download. this can be solved by re-downloading and reporting to the game site you got it from.
hope this helps

Thanks for that chap. Will give it a go a bit later. The game is from Origin, as EA have released a 7 day free pass to play. I have looked on the net and alot of people are having this issue with no resolution at the moment. The game just will not load, no error messages or anything.

what happens exactly, nothing starts? just get a black box? error messages?
if your able to run other high graphic games then its probably the download (i presume its a downloaded game) and not a dodgy dvd etc.
if your still struggling this evening i can remote onto your desktop and check for any problems and get the specs on your PC if you like

we can't load the game while im on there as i wont see anything, see how you get on

Yea Drax just right click on the game, then run game. But it just doesn't start, as in, nothing happens. Yea this is a downloaded game from EA/origin. I am attempting the third re-download of it now. if still nothing then yea you can help me if you like

How on earth do you 'remote on to my desktop'

Sounds a bit dodgy to me

All my other games run fine, World of tanks, Sniper ghost warrior, Need for speed, ect ect. Just really would like to of played BF4 on the PC but hey ho

After you have tried to run the game, if you control alt delete and bring up the task manager, and click processes, can you see the process for bf4 running?
