        yeah i think the min spec for Nvidia cards changed to fx5700 after the 1.2/1.3
        - Video Cards
        Battlefield 2 only supports the following video cards:
        Radeon X700 (PCIe)
        Radeon X600 (PCIe)
        GeForce 6600 (PCIe)
        GeForce PCX 5900 (PCIe)
        GeForce 5800 Series (AGP)
        ATI Radeon X800 XT Platinum Edition
        ATI Radeon X800 PRO
        ATI Radeon 9800 Series
        ATI Radeon 9600 Series
        ATI Radeon 9550 (RV350LX)
        ATI Radeon 9500 / 9700 Series
        ATI Radeon 8500 Series
        ATI Radeon X300 Series
        NVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra
        NVidia GeForce 6800 GT
        NVidia GeForce 6800
        NVidia GeForce FX 5950 Series
        NVidia GeForce FX 5900 Series
        NVidia GeForce FX 5700 Series
        wait and see if anyone else can still play with the same card first

        If u do get another Graphics Card i would recommend you get at least a nvidia 6600

            Your graphics card is very borderline. If you dont want to buy a better one, can you borrow one from a friend briefly?

                Well you should upgrade it regardless, but try someone elses first to make sure its your graphics card - otherwise you could have a nice shiny new graphics card but something else could be the issue.

                Actually, while youre at it, you need twice the amount of ram as well. In fact, what are your specs?

                    2.6GHz what though? Celeron, Athlon, etc. You really need 1GB of ram to play BF2 half decent as well.

                      so if ill have 1024MB ram the problem will be no more?
                      or i need better graphic card?

                        No, that may not necessarily remove your problem, but it would make a marked improvement on how fast the game runs and how good it looks.

                        But yes, I suspect your components may be prohibiting BF2 from working.

                          Well from what i know your all worng. Here are my Computer specs

                          AMD 64+Bit
                          512Megs of DDR memory
                          and a Nvida GeForce FX 5200 Ultra with 128megs of ram

                          I run BF2 fine with out any errors so from what i can tell from programing is that who ever is haveing the errors from that screen shot it looks as either you dont have the newest video driver because video drivers make a differnce in the game because i play the game just fine i have no probloms at all. goto www.nvida.com and download the newest graphics drivers and install them. If that still doesnt work you may need to get a better card idk but i run the game just fine. the error says Microsoft Visual C++ (C++) is a computer programing languge for those that dont know and Visual works with VB aka Visual Basics so theres gotta be a video error somewhere either his card isnt good enogh or he just needs new drivers idk but theres my help on this topic.

                          and this post is bull**** because i play the game with only a 1.6 AMD 64-bit but the only thing that really matters is u dont really need 1gb stop posting stupied crap that you dont really need i bet u this guy thats haveing the problom with his game isnt rich lol 1gb my *** he only needs 512 cause thats what i use is 512 so idk this post is dumb u dont need 1gb of ram and if anything a celeron is quite dumb because there CPUs are vary unstable and cant handel gaming that much they take alot of system memory.

                            WTF? Please don't invite me to your 4th Birthday party. And lay off the drugs, they're doing nothing for you.

                            1GB is pretty much essential to run BF2 at any respectable speed. You can do it with 512MB, but it loads and plays like a dog. Thats a fact. And your graphics card, like the person who started this thread, is scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of its capability to play the game. I would hate to see what it looks like. If I were either of you, I would scrounge, beg and borrow to upgrade my graphics card and ram. It wouldnt cost a lot to see a marked difference in how the game runs.
