BF2 doesn't start???

Re: BF2 doesn't start???

It happens to me too. What's your DVD drive? my NEC 3550A is the source of the problem. Don't bother updating your firmware.
The only thing that partially solved it is this:

Make a folder where your bf2 shorcut is, place the shortcut in that folder and the two MDS / MDF files in it aswell.

download Daemom Tools (if you don't have it already)

https://www.daemon-tools.cc

Open DT, where the clock is you should see a red lightning.
Right click on it->Virtual CD/DVD...->Set Number->1
"Please wait..."->Left click on the red icon in the taskbar->Left click on Device 0:...->Double click on the MDS file (NOT the MDF file).
"Please wait..."
Eject any disc from your dvd reader / burner, put it in a nice place so it will not get lost, and double click on the shourcut in the folder with the mdf/s.

Ive spend like 2 hours on finding a solution for this problem and this is the only thing I found. Sorry.

Wait for other replies.

Hello, after reading all the FAQ and posts I cannont find a solution to my problem. First of all here are my PC specs

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Dual Core
Asus M2N-E
1GIG Kingston Value Ram (2 512mb sticks running dual channel)
GeForce 7600GS 256MB 400Mhz core/800Mhz memory
WD SATA3.0Gb HD

Problem: When I try to start BF2 (I tried desktop shortcuts and straight from CD-Rom) the BF2 logo appears, then a couple of seconds later it dissapears and nothing happens, so I dont even get to the black screen. But the BF2.exe and ~e5.0001 are running in the Processes.
One out of lets say 30 times the game does load.

FIX: I installed AMD patch that is supose to help video games, but it didn't help. I deleted BF2 in mydocuments, renamed Movie file so that it doesnt play movies but that didn't help either.

PS: If anyone knows how to fix this please tell because I pretty much build this whole PC to play BF2 and now it works once out of thirty tires which really sux.

Thanks for your help in advance! :)
