splash screen,not starting

[maximusarian]

hello to all you great helpers. I have a Toshiba laptop with vista and core 2 duo cetrino CPU and 1 gb ram and 945 GM express chipset.when i click on battlefield 2 a splashscreen appears and then battlefield 2 is gone
I know my 945GM does not support BF2 but is there anyway I can get in to game??The chipset has 256MB video ram so why shouldnt i be able to play battlefield2 wich only needs 128 for minimum playing.
help is greatly appreciated

Re: splash screen,not starting

I'm having the same problem with the splash screen coming up but the game itself doesn't launch... I'm runnin the GeForce FX 4000 (yes i know the game calls for a 5600) I just want to know if it is definatley the video card causing the problem before I go out and buy a new one...

thanks for any help

Re: splash screen,not starting

Bought a ATI Radeon 9550 (256MB) and still having the same problem... Not sure what to look for... The splash screen comes up, then a blank screen as if the game is changing the monitor settings, then it goes back to the desktop... I have scene others have this problem in a bunch of differant forums and all the responces seemed to be "Buy a new Vid Card".... But that didn't work here...

I uploaded my EasyInfo, http://teamcem.com/EasyInfo.htm

Anyone have any idea what the issue is?

Are you running Vista? If so, try this (worked for me): http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113712

Re: splash screen,not starting

Yes I installed it correctly, and no I don't run Vista

SIMPLE FIX: Update ALL drivers and Re-Install BF2
