    Sounds like a resolution issue. What screen do you have.

    FYI if you have only just started playing BF2, you might want to look at a graphics card upgrade, your current card will run it, but at very low resolutions.

      What drivers are you running? although I have never heard of someone getting a grey screen because of old drivers, but worth a check.

        If by what screen do you have you mean resolution then 1024x768. But if you mean the monitor then it is a kogi like 14in or something. Butwith my ridiculously horrible luck my computer will not let me access my properties now for some reason. I have never had this problem before.(if its not one thing its another) and as far as my system not being able to handle BF2. I would have to agree with you about the video card holding me back but it plays quake 4 on high quality at 1024x768@ 30fps.

        I figured out how to change my rez. It wasnt working through properties so I had to do it straight through my video card. I have tried 800x600 which didnt work and 640x480 which didnt work.

          HI, maybe you've sorted it by now but I had the same problem with an Asrock 939Dual VSTA mobo. Tearing my hair out I finally found it was the Uli AGP driver screwing with my video.

          Uninstalled the AGP driver, reinstalled my Nvidia drivers and i was 'good to go'.
          I don't know what the AGP driver does but everythings wonderful without it.

          Hope this helps.
