The only other thing that comes to mind is to delete the cache files in your BF2 folder and let BF2 recreate them. The files will be in the following location:

C:\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache\

where is replaced with your xp user name

Delete all folders in that location - they will be recreated when BF2 starts.

any help
I have had the black screen crash on a couple of games, including BF2. I reinstalled  windows and it seemed to fix it. I guess because I used different graphics card drivers

I had exact same thing when I first tried to run it, I was orignally using version 77.77 of nvidia's drivers but installing the older version that came on the disk with the game fixed it for me.

Mhhmmzzz, okay...
Tomorrow I've got some more time to check it all out.
Here's a complete list of what I've tryed so far:

-Installed BF2;
-Installed all 3 patches;
-Installed latest Graphicscard (a MEDION RADEON 9600 TX) drivers;
-Stopped the Windows Firewall and AntiVirus and all other programs that might give a problem;
-Set my card/monitor on 800x600 @60 Hz because I've heard that BF2 must start at this res/refresh rate the first time it starts.


Now when I start up BF2, I get the first screen, it looks like it's loading and then it just crashes and restarts my computer.

I also got these suggestions:
*Make sure nothing is overclocked and that memory settings are allocated in BIOS using SPD. Additionally, if your graphics card uses a 4pin molex power connector in addition to the power from the AGP slot then make sure nothing else is using the same power rail.
*Can you run 3D mark OK or any other games for that matter?
*The only other thing that comes to mind is to delete the cache files in your BF2 folder and let BF2 recreate them. The files will be in the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache\
where is replaced with your xp user name
Delete all folders in that location - they will be recreated when BF2 starts.

Anymore suggestions? The last suggestion I got is reinstall windows.

I think the patches are cumulative, so you can settle for just 1.03.

Can you play other games?

Not being funny but I'll ask the obvious question:

You do have the CD in the drive don't you?

Yep, it's still in as we type. Had it in during the patches and stuff aswell.
I firstly wanted to install the game and get it to work and after that try the No-CDstuff.

Sorry but worth checking these things ;)

Have a look at the first of the two links posted by delanvital. There is a lot of troubleshooting stuff in there.

I had a look through the readme file for BF2 and all it says is:

QuoteVIDEO CARDS

- It is highly recommended to go to your video card manufacturer's
 website and download updated drivers for your card. For your
 convenience the addresses are listed here:
 
 ATI:     http://ati.com/support/driver.html
 Nvidia:    http://nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp


- DXT TEXTURE SUPPORT
 Disabling DXT Texture Support on ATI Video Cards can result in
 Battlefield 2 failing to start.
 We recommend DXT Texture Support is enabled.

- CHANGING DISPLAY MODE
 Occasionally on some video cards you may be allowed to set the
 display mode to one not supported by your computer. This will result
 in a black screen being shown. To remedy this use the Windows
 Explorer to find and delete the directory:

    \My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\

 This will reset your game to the default settings. You can
 now start the game, retrieve or create a new profile, and re-adjust
 the settings using the Menu as normal.

Note the line about DXT texture support. I assume that will be in display properties somewhere.

What is the screen you see when you start up, before it crashes? Is it a video intro or do you make it to the logon window? Past that perhaps?

Try and unload all you can, both anti-virus, firewall and whatever you may have in your traybar etc.

How much RAM do you have in the machine?

When I first arrived at the lan i had this problem so i re-installed BF2 and installed the patch, but this didn't appear to solve the problem. Then snooks (i think) suggested deleting the old profiles folder in my documents (left over from the original installation) and this solved the problem. The folder was called "Battlefield 2" and is located in the default "my documents" folder. I simply renamed it "Battlefield 1" as i didn't want to delete my screenshots etc and voila!!!!

hope this helps.
