        try updating the video driver. The one that comes with a brand new pc is usually outdated.

          Have updated to the latest one 165.01, played a demo of bioShock which worked fine but not my cup of tea !

          SDOnt dont what else todo, hopefully someone else will have got the same model they only became available last friday so if anyone else has got bf2 to work at least I could figure if it needs to go back.

              what are wares ? and how do i not use them ?

              You mean warez right, this is all ligit m8. nothing ripped on here Original disk unless you mean the video driver but as i understand it nvidea does not support laptop drivers its always from some other source. Unless you can point me where nvidia posts them cos it aint on therer site.

                Ain't no 165.01 drivers matey, use the official ones and stop messing around with "tweaked" drivers that cause more problems than they solve.

                  Tried loading on call of duty 2 and it worked after changing it to run as XP in the properties. It looks really nice and is fast. But this means that xp games do play on vista. So why does BF2 which i prefer anyway :-( not want to work ???

                  As regards to drivers i searched nvidia for the latest and for my card i get no results. So i had to go with tweaked version. I remember with my Alienware laptop the surport guy told me to get a tweaked version as nvidia did not release it ??????

                  So where do i look for the drivers ??????

                        Are those the drivers?

                        Have you tried the reference 163.44s? Damn, laptops are a special case when it comes to "tweaked" drivers.


                        Find all instances of "800x600@60Hz" in My Documents\Battlefield 2 and in Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\ and replace them with your actual desktop resolution.

                            Exactly the same error but I have a 8600M GT running vista home premium

                            ------ later

                            Omg, I launched the game with myold CRT monitor and guess what ? It works !!!!! Man I'm happy to know that this is not coming form my cg driver or else but how can i make it work on my laptop screen right now ? I bought a 17" to play on my laptop

                              Yer its got to do with the screen res and refresh rate that the laptops have, I am trying to find all files and change them to my res as my refresh is 59Hz so I need to go throu and set it . I must be missing some, as i have changed all the files to, 1024 768 59, i can find but when i run bf2 it says the same error ie 800x600. Ill keep going :-)
