Uninstall, clean your registry and temp files etc and the folders the game creates in My Documents. Install again.

Like I said...
...I uninstalled the game - removed everything related to BF2 from the registry and then rebooted for a re-install - now I try and install BF2 again and and after the initial loading bar it just go's back to windows.!!!!!!
Thanks for reply, I've pretty much done all of the above, with the one exception of installing the 1.01 patch aswell just to be sure, but I haven't tried skipping and going straight for 1.02, would that make a difference?geeza said:
This is ******** ridiculous.. so many people complaining of similar problems on the EA Forums and just about every BF forum out there and I'm reading loads of complaints about lack of reply from the "Submit a question" support..
Your crash to desktop sounds me to me like the classic wrong refresh rate crap that BF games have all suffered. Try running your desktop at 1024x768 60hz, just to see if that works. Also, if its crashing just after start, maybe your disk is nackered on the protection bit, you could try downloading a clone cd image of one of the disk and use that with daemon tools, instead of your original dvd.
I thought geiger had cracked it when he mentioned the patch instal sequence.
Did you try this as he was correct in saying instal game patch 1.2 then patch 1.3.
If not Lanz is also correct so try this and let us know how you get on there must be something we can do.

Can anybody tell me why i keep being disconnected after about a minute of playing online and also i keep getting a message from ea saying update to 1.3 patch which i have already done can this be stopped cuz it might be why i get disconnected.
thanks
thanks
have you updated your punkbuster, there were problems like that just after the 1.2 patch was released.

Don't worry there'll be a patch out to sort the patch that sorted the patch that didn't sort the patch. 
(legally used i think 
)
MMMMmmmmmmm I'm caught in the Twilight zone of patchness.
Thankfully mine works fine. Just keep posting and between us we will sort it.
Yesterday i switched to the 5.9 Omega drivers and stopped using Ati tool for fan control. Drivers are the best i have had, Period. Never before have i noticed such a big improvement. It ran sweet as before it just runs/looks/loads better now.
Because of the Ambient temp drops i have done away with ATi tool freeing resources. Depends on your Ambients whether you can do this but the Omega's are definetly worth a go.
