Hello,
If you are using Vista as your operating system, then you need to right click on the short cut you use to open BF2, and click "Run as Administrator" - So you don't have the do this every time, you can set it permanently by right clicking on the short cut, and click properties, then under the compatibility tab select "Run as Administrator"
However if you are not using Vista, ensure that you are trying to run BF2 on an account with administrator privileges. If you are, then this problem can be caused by spy ware.... this can be resolved using the following steps....

Download and run this file from any location, it will check for ad ware that stops you from being able to play on PB servers. The VX2 ad ware edits your user rights when it infects your computer, and many programs do not repair this when they remove it.

Click the "Find VX2.betterinternet info" button to make sure that you don't have this adware. If there are no files listed, go on to the last step. If you find the adware files, (it is usually 3 random named dll files) Select all the files found.
Press 'Delete These Files'. The program will delete all files but one that will be deleted on reboot. Allow program to reboot. Once Restarted:
* Press 'Guardian.reg'.
* Press 'User Agent'.
* Press 'Restore Policy'.
Clicking on "find vx2.BetterInternet info" again should show all fields blank.
If you have no adware files, just click on the "Restore Policy" Button
