I tryed to play Battlefield 2 on this laptop, and it gots to a black scren like it should, and then it returns to the desktop. From my experience its usually the refresh rate being to low. In this case i can't see if thats the problem, since I've updated the game and direct X and my video drivers, and it still acts the same. The reason why, is that the refresh rate is 59mhz on this laptop. Which according to forums the game needs 80X600@60mhz.

I doubt that the refresh rate can stop the game from running, are any other games working? Do you have the newest drivers...etc...

Any Codecs/Codec Packs?

I got the newst drivers and no fancy codecs

And i'm trying a few right now.

No don't install any codecs..


Some codecs stop games from playing

I meant i'm trying some games, installing San andreas now. I just tryed Maple Story and it works. So i don't know

San andreas works fine, what the the heck.

that sure is news to me, got any evidence?

Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling BF2? While I love that game it sure can be a pain. What OS and video drivers are you running?

I'm using Windows XP pro SP2 and using just basic drivers from nvidia.com
94.24 i think

This happened to me when I got my new monitor.

The game is set to run at a higher refresh rate than what your monitor can handle. So you need to go into a file (can't remember which) and change the refresh rate to what your laptop is set and, and boom it should work.
