gunnery, before you post, remember that the rules say that you must write in English, not in Slanglish.
Anyway, why don't you try reinstalling the game and reinstalling patch 1.41?
Also, turn off other progrms before you start the game.

Thankyou for a sensible answer.

Gunnery, if you refer to the forum rules:

Post in English, or as close as you can reasonably get. Spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization count.

When something strange happens to my computer when running any program, I tend to get paranoid and run the antivirus. I never know if it's the case, but hey, it doesn't really hurt to try.

I've never had anything like that happen to me, so the only other advice I can give is to try and reinstall/repatch. Good luck.

hmm... if it's shutting down your PC it sounds like a hardware issue.

Please post your specs. In particular your CPU, video card, RAM, mainboard and PSU specs.

@Gunnery, its is a lot easier to help when you're being nicer...
Anyway, what are you computer specs, is there a specific error message, installed the patches in the right order etc?

Since you say that you have just installed it and never successfully played it, this is also my first thought ... the intro videos will play on most any video card, I believe, but incompatible video cards will cause the program to crash to desktop after these videos.

My biggest question is "What is your video card?"

It would help if you posted the exact card, and RAM. Some cards still have issues with BF2. (actually, DICE may have ironed these out by now, but knowing them...enough said)

OK ... do you still have a problem as stated in the original post, or has this been consumed by an even larger issue (the "blow up")?

If you still have the original problem, then you still have not answered our original diagnostic question: what is your video card?

sounds like bad/corrupt hardware settings in the registry to me, try reinstalling your video drivers and dx9.0c
