Bad news

Hi, I just found out that my vidio card is the problem. I need a newer card. My dad read somewhere that a card 2 years or older may not work for the game. I dont know if this is your problem, but I would look into it. Bye

Battlefield 2 demo

Whenever I try to run the demo, the screen goes black as if it is going to load, but then it goes back to my desktop. I checked my video card, and it is an ATI Radeon 7000. I downloaded the latest Catalyst drivers, and it still doesn't work. I'm wondering if the game even supports the card?

As far as i am aware the demo should work on ur card i have only heard of problems with old nvidia cards. it sounds to me like its drivers though or else the exe is bad if u have the time try to dl another ill keep a ear out on ur card though to hear if there has been problems like urs

and ur 6600 gt will work to its out in around 1 week and half i think

whenever I tru to install the Demo a msg box pops up after a monent that says that I need Administrator privileges. I've had this machine for 3 years and never had a message like that come up before. I'm on a router now would that cause this to happen? Or would it be my operating system? ( I have Windows ME, I know there are problems with it. )

Run the exe and bob is ur uncle fanny is ur aunt make sure u have the latest direct x if u installed the game it should install them automatically but cheack anyway. U should be running Direct X 9.c to check this hit start then RUN clear whatever is in the box if anything and type dxdiag then ok and itll show u somthing like this as u can see near the bottom it says direct X 9 c if urs says that u should have no probs

And yes there r clans and theres gonna be alot more clans team play is critical being on ur own gun ho isnt gonna work in this u will see the advantages immediately when u play it get in squads and so on its amazing

this game sucks. whenever i try to play a server, it takes like 10 minutes to load, and half the time it just switches and takes me back to the server list after it does finish. and when i DO play, it runs really fucking slow and its pissing me off. what can i do? i have a nivida geforce 6600 and cable internet, but it still runs as though there were 1000+ ping. WHATS GOING ON
