What do you have runing on start up? go run, type in, "msconfig" hit run go start up hit disable all, hit apply, it will ask you to restart pc doit, when windows loads popup will come up telling you about the changes, tick box hit ok.
Try doing your thing with BF2 now also look at the steps below

Ok here is what I found this might fixit for sum
First off Install full patch not "incremet" ( this should fix most of the problems )
Update Punkbuster After new patch ( full install ) update your PB, you can find out how to auto update PB in general chat section of this forums ( titled top 10 tweak guids )
To steps above should fix the problems also found this on other forums that might help
1. I found this sorted, my problems out, alternatively you just need to switch your PC to run with just 1 cpu (in window task manager, right click BF2.exe, select affinity- deselect one of the cpu's and away you go!)
2.If that dont work dude, try turning Hyperthreading off in your BIOS. Done the trick for me, I had the exact same problem.
I dont have Dual processors though but if the above post don't work give it a bash.
3.Video settings check make sure they set to low ( only for now just to see if it helps our problem )
4.People getting a CTD when they hit 'Join Game' should be able to connect by using the ESC button instead.( tip by ptegan )
if any of it fails reinsatalling game with full ptach and full PB update will fix your problems.

still getting the same graphical/software lag as i started getting with 1.22. The game loads fine, get to the server list and starts to load the servers in groups of 20 and is really slow. then when i finally join a game, i cant play it because there seems to be a lot of graphical lag.
Hi!
I'm not usually the one to write on forums like this, but I had the same kind of error/problem for a while, and I managed to solve it! Don't know if this will help you out, but here goes:
I have Mcafee firewall installed. I always disable it when I play BF2. I too had some trouble with the latest (1.22) patch. The game would totally lag in multiplayer, but worked just fine in singleplayer.
The solution: Mcafee firewall, even though disabled, didn't know of me patching BF2. I never approved BF2 for network access in Mcafee. When I reactivated the firewall, and started BF2, the firewall prompted for what to do with BF2. I allowed it network access, and the lag was gone! Now there is no problems any longer with my firewall (or BF2). The "funny" thing is the amount of lag (200+ms) I experienced when the firewall was DISABLED. Once the firewall knew of BF2, there is no problem with it, even when it is disabled!
This should help few of you Enjoy
