Wait, I didnt think of whether you had an Nvdia card or ATI.

Right click your desktop, and go to properties, thne go to the settings tab of the windows that comes up.
Then tell me what it says as shown in this picture-

You're trying to play BF2 with the video card that comes integrated with your motherboard... impossible.
Check if your motherboard has an AGP slot, it's one of the things you use to connect cards to your PC, this one should be brown, if your PC has one of those, then you need to buy a new video card (be prepared with at least $150 bucks).
If your PC doesn't have an AGP slot, then my friend, you should think about getting a new PC, or, if you're on a tight budget, save your pennies for an Xbox360 and a copy of a console version of BF2. Good luck.

anyone had experience of frequent lockups during BF2, often resulting in a reboot?

I've updated all the drivers, increased my swap file and defragged all my HDDs, ingame performance is slightly improved for the precious few minutes it works. I did have a huge heat build up, but I cured it using an ATI Silencer 5 rev2.

specs for my rig are in my sig.

HELP, since the game has gone gold I expect I'm gonna see this problem in the full game when it arrives :mad:

Hey

I am re-downloading it right know. I hope that works. I am getting it from a different site. Who knows, maybe the site I got it from first had a bug?
