As far as I know you are not the main admin of the PC you're playing on, so more accounts
You need to change that!

or

PBWEB (download and run from pb subdir of BF2 install dir)

Try this: I think its for Vista only though.
Battlefield 2
We ran Battlefield 2 in both its native un-patched state and with the latest 1.3 patch, and both of them seemed to work just fine. There's one significant gotcha that crept up several times in our testing: Punkbuster. The Punkbuster anti-cheating code is a common part of many online games (particularly shooters), and it works by scanning game files to make sure they're not compromised. Most Battlefield 2 servers have Punkbuster enabled, and when we joined one, we got promptly kicked out of the game with a message saying Punkbuster failed due to "inadequate O/S privelages."

The solution is simple enough: right-click the BF2 icon, choose Properties, and then in the Compatibility tab check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator." After doing this, we encountered no problems joining any server.

In XP, right click and then chose run as... and make sure your admin account is selected.

I have tried to do as you explained but i get to the Comptibility tab, but there is not box to tick that sais "run this program under an Administrator" it only sais the following.

1: Run this program in caompatibility mode for ( then you can choose windows 95 and 98 and 2000 ect ect)
2: 256 colours
3: run in 640X480 screen resolution
4: Disable visual themes
5: turn off advanced servises for this game
