Crash to desktop in Vista at account screen

[CrimsonBrian]

Hey everyone,
I just installed Vista and have had no real issues until I tried to play BF2. This is a clean install, not an upgrade and I am having a strange issue. The game starts no problem and when it reaches the login screen, my user name/pass are there but when I click login, it thinks for a while then just crashes straight to the desktop. It happens whether I login manually or put the user name/pass in the shortcut. I am running it in compatibility mode and as an administrator. Thoughts? Thanks!

yeah the exact same thing happens to me m8....sux bigtime i know.
i've done 6 installs-tried different drivers,patches you name it yet my friend can logon to my account with his pc.

i had an idea it maybe somewhere along the connecting process do i check my dmp file and founf this.

when and if i get a fix i'll post it.
oh btw i've sent EA 5 messages and they only answered 4..yet i gave them all the info about my prob and nothing that they have sent me helps in any way.

Don't use beta operating systems to play retail games.
(I also doubt that Vista will be officially supported to run BF2)
So uninstall or make a dual boot partition for XP.
