So here's my problem:

I've made a new OS installation after running the old for over a year.
So I installed BF2, SF, Boosterpacks, BF2142 and a few other games. The system runs fine, updated Windows Service Packs, other Updates, latest drivers etc. After I've installed all I wanted to play a round BF2. Connected to one of my favourite servers and...the lag-hell begins. No matter what BF I play it lags really like hell. Last night on a english Warlord Server I got a ping from above 1.000!!!!
BF2142 lags too but not so hard.
Before the new OS installation all BF games run absolute perfectly. I've searched the forums for a similar problem/solution, tried all the tweaks for lag reduction, updated Punkbuster, renamed the BF2.exe and stuff like that. But it keeps lagging, it's unplayable.
What I wonder now is that other games run very good. I try Enemy Territory, Quake 4 and Counter Strike Source. Without any lags. Called my Internet Provider...nope. All fine with my connection he says after checking the connection. I've also applied the 1.4 Patch again which I got from EA Downloader to be sure it's not corrupt.
So what can I do?! Any suggestions? Should I reinstall BF2 and Bf2142? Reinstall my OS again?
I really don't know anymore what I can do?!

Did you connect to the net for long before you got your security sorted?

I made that mistake a year or so ago. Was only connected for about 15 mins and hadn't even run IE and got minced by god knows what.

I had the exact same problem, and others in my clan have too. I noticed a great amount of video lag in BF2 afte I installed 2142. I uninstalled 2142 and the lag went away instantly. However, I am confused why 2142 would cause video lag on BF2. The only thing I can come up with is, they run on the same engine, which may share some files. 

Try uninstalling 2142 and see if it helps you like it did me. That's the only advice I have. If it doesn't help, good luck on whatever you try.
