Only thing I can come up with is this:

- Check if you have AA forced using any videocard tools, if yes then disable it
- Make a backup of the folder  \my documents\battlefield 2\
- Delete the \my documents\battlefield 2\ folder
- Go to start menu - program files - EA Games - start Battlefield 2
- You need to know the password of the account you created for BF2. Choose retrieve account using you nickname and password
- This might take a while. Hopefully you can now log in the game

Ok I tried switching my GeForce for an ATI card, no succes. Also tried to remove each memory bank seperately to see if any of those was faulty, no succes either. Next step trying a BIOS update and trying to uninstall Direct X.

SYSTEM SPECS:
MB: Asus P5LD2 Deluxe
CPU: Pentium 4 3.4 GHz
GPU: Nvidia XFX 7900 GTX XXX
RAM: 2 GB Kingston Value Ram
PSU: Asus Something 600W

Also, I've come a bit closer to the error. It comes up in windows with a BSOD saying: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Actually you are getting into more trouble. DirectX uninstall is very .. very tricky, just do a reinstall.
I know you did a clean install, did you remove the My Documents\Battlefield 2 folder during one of the uninstalls ?

By the way did you get a Stop 0xD1 message?

I'll read the through the rest of the BSOD and see if I get that line.

NOO NO, putting that file in in the first place is wat started the problems.!!!!!

@ NTH,



NOTE: It seems to be directX related, I tried to uninstall DX (your saving post , I saw it too late NTH) now BF2 doesnt crash my PC, but gives an error, but I cant see it, because my screen stays black. Once I kill BF2 the error dissappears as well.

Appearantly I uninstalled DX improperly, it wont reinstall either. So I'm guessing If I fix the DX problem my BF problem is solved.

Now I would do a system restore, but It wont let me click the next button. NEXT PROBLEM. Doh!!! :P

Hahaha, sorry dat ik lach, maar dit is zeer herkenbaar.
I hope you will get it fixed soon, but please humor me and answer my question, did you or did you not remove the My Documents\ Battlefield 2 folder.

If you want to see the message start BF2 in window mode.

yeah when I did a clean install I DID remove the BF2 folder in My Documents.

I fixed the Dx9 problem by reinserting the string into the registry, so it's back to my BSOD.

Now let's see if that string you mentioned comes up.

En stiekem irriteer ik me mateloos, want een dag geleden werkte FH nog perfect totdat ik die stomme alt+tab fix van DIce erin gooide.

I'm pretty sure it's a DX9 problem.

It does give me the STOP: 0x000000D1 error.

Hey everyone thanks for all the amazing help and quick replies!!!!

Currently just doing a full PC re-install.

It only has to last another month, maybe two untill I get my new one.

Although this case wasn't solved, consider it closed!

And thanks again for all the help!!!

See you in FH2!!!!!!!

If it fails again get that military training base on your Macbook. Just hinting as I think we're not supposed to promote such things..
Anyway, if you can get BF2 on your Macbook you can atleast play.

Yeah, reinstalling dx9 might do the trick. Also, attempt running in windowed as an error may flash before it restarts. However, it is strange that it is causing your pc to restart without a BSOD etc. Also what about trying one of us uploading the un-updated 'fix' and you using that and see if it works? may overwrite the 'fixed' one somehow...
