I have just started using a Samsung 32 inch LCDscreen with BF2 I have never had problems running it with my CRT Monitor and all I did was plug the damn thing in, now I get the splash screen then it just reverts back to the desktop. I have used the D-SUB the DVI and unloaded my display drivers all to no avail....................................................HELP..!

i had the same problem. i guess you have a Nvidia graphics card, otherwise i wouldnt be able to help .

ok go to you documents/battlefield 2 folder. since im not at home i duuno the exact paths but there should be a mod or user directory and in there should be a default and a 0001 folder (0001 normally is your first account and so on).
ok open them and you should see a file named "video.con", that file is in 0001 and in the default folder and you have to do the next step in both files (or more if you have more accounts). open it with wordpad and in the middle theres an entry stating your resolution with refresh rate. change the refresh rate o 60Hz, i guess its set to 75/85 since you used a CRT before.

problem is that hte Nvidia drivers try to overrun the games refresh rates but the game doesnt do that so it goes back to desktop. took me 1 day after i bought Bf2 to ffigure it out
i hope that was your problem and i could help.

yeah check it anyways since i dunno how it works on atis but it could be a solution also cause most drivers nowadays override the windows and application refreshrates. its not that big of a change and its easily put back into the original state.
