I think your problem is --> Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family

On board graphics aint going to cut it for BF2. I would recommend 6600GT minimum.

that was funny.

okay so I dont know how much you know so I will explain it all.
the video card is a physical thing, wheater its integrated or not. it is a card, or a chip that go "into" the motherboard and produces graphics. good expensive ones give you better framerates and graphics in games.
integrated (what you have) means its physically "integrated" into the motherboard, and those suck,to put it bluntly.

if you just want to play, you can go with a lower end card like a nvidia 5700 or ati 9500. (I MIGHT want to get an extra 512mb of ram, but if ur gonna be on low settings it might not matter).

if you want to play on higher settings something like a 6600gt or more should be bought.

you have to buy them, and they have to be compatible with the computer. unless me or someone else here helps like crazy, I wouldnt suggest doing this yourself. i would suggest bringing it to a store or asking your manufacerter.

Try and buy more ram too, BF2 will run much better, get a total of 1GB for a start and your sorted for now.
