Good evening. For quite a while I desperately try to install FH2.
Unfortunately without any luck.

When I start FH2 a black screen comes up and then closes to desktop.
I tried running as administrator. And when I run through / forgottenhope2.exe I get the following screen:



Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

What Operating System are you using? ( I'm not familiar with Vista, 7, 8 )
What version of BF2 are you using? (DVD Edition, Deluxe Edition, Steam Version)
Can you start Battlefield 2 and join a game without problems?
Did you update BF2 to Version 1.51?
Did you download and install both parts of Forgotten Hope 2? (1 of 2) (2 of 2)

Actually I admit that I got no clue and never had the problem. But the answers to those questions might help others sorting the problem.

You should be running FH2.exe, not forgottenhope2.exe. To diagnose startup problems, run windowed to better see what is happening (possibly see error messages). Copy or create a shortcut to FH2.exe and append the target with switch fullscreen and value 0, such as:

"N:\Battlefield 2\FH2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 0
