BF2 Problem After Install

Fireblade2K4 · 26 Feb 2006 at 15:55

I've looked as well as I can through that HUGE thread and can't find the answers to my problem. I've just formatted my system done a fresh install of XP and after installing Battlefield2 when I get to the login screen it is all grey with just a white mouse pointer, any ideas what is causing this.

So far I've changed 6800U Drivers, updated to DirectX 9.0c Feb Release, installed all my motherboard drivers, changed bioses and this has still not helped, and also re-installed BF2.

Any further ideas will be appreciated, this is my first issue with this game ever!

Done all the above and it is still the same, I'm just going to wipe it again the weekend or beat the **** out of it before the weekend gets here but we'll see.

Which drivers are you using?

I'm using the latest nVidia driver 83.90's which before I formatted worked perfectly, I've also tried a few others but it is the same.

Did you delete your BF2 folder in my documents ?

theres all sorts in there that caused problems for lots when patching.

When I uninstalled the game this folder was gone also, so I didnt need to delete it although I'll do it again now to be 100% sure, I think it format time now though to be honest, I'm pretty good at solving problems but so far this one is beating me

Ok I've just installed F.E.A.R as well and that is the same except the screen is black with a white mouse pointer arrow, strange thing is Doom3 plays ok, I'm wondering if it is a DirectX issue?

Anyone know anyway I can revery back to DirectX 8.1 to do a fresh install of the latest 9.0c as this was updated by BF2 which is where I'm thinking the problem lies.
