well, i can't start my bf2 anymore. when i click on the icon to start it, the starting screen appears and then i have a black screen. then my PC throws me back on my desktop. i already reinstalled it but the problem is still there. maybe it's because of my new 22" screen because since i have it i can't play it. got my resolution in windows on 1650x1050 and i already scaled it down on 1024x768 to test it but its still not working.
thx for help.

sounds like you need to update the drivers for your video card

You didn't modify the shortcut before you installed the latest patch or something ?

I had the same problem, a clean install of BF2 and unistalling some off the software that came with the monitor sorted it out.
What monitor is it?

Uninstall BF2 -> Delete profile folder w/settings -> update drivers -> install BF2 -> play

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me

You also have to add "+fullscreen 1 +szx 1440 +szy 900" to the target line just change it to what ever res you are using

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1+menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1440 +szy 900 +restart 1

Are u sure the "hardware acceleration" is maxed out in screensettings? I had exactly same prob, when i had to decrease acceleration when dealing with a video playback problem i had.

My Xp is in finnish, so im not sure its exactly called "hardware acceleration" in english.
