Don't know , it's giving him like a o/s error or something like that
Yeah, that was my question.
Can you run Vista if you have DX9 video card?

ehm don't know, maybe we should ask someone that runs on vista!
Vista can run on a Dx9 card, though I think you need an update to 9.0c or something along those lines, certainly some sort of update. Bf2 the only game that isnt working?

BF2 is the only game he has on his "rig"..
Vista will run DX9 hardawre and software. Did your friend do an upgrade or a new installation. If an upgrade, he should first try reinstalling BF2. If that doesn't work he may need to install Vista freah. Upgrades suck.
What's with all the random "quotes"?
http://www.bjorn3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8797Right-click the BF2 icon, choose Properties, and then in the Compatibility tab check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator." After doing this, we encountered no problems joining any server.
Give that a try.
Thank you everyone... Karma for all
I think everyone has DX9.0c
I'll post the Vista System Req's here.

2142 also runs on Vista, I use it occassionally but suffer from an FPS drop of about 20 - 30 when I do. XP works better for me until SLI drivers for vista come out
