BF2 not working---black screen

[pilvlp]

My friend recently bought BF2. When he trys to load the game, it just goes black and returns him to his desktop. Any help?

Specs:
1GB ram
1.6Ghz proc
250GB HD
128MB Intelr G33/g31 express chipset family(I dunno lol) video card.

that processor is below minimum specs if its a single core processor.If its a dual core celeron or something itll be fine.I suspect the video card.anything lower than a 5200fx and you will not play bf2.

[pilvlp]

He has a dual core.

[solofowaffles]

video card?

[pilvlp]

I listed it. I guess it's an on board VC

[jesus]

that gfx chipset is not compatible with bf2

[solofowaffles]

Yeah that pos card aint gonna cut it,he needs a dedicated video card.Any idea what bus type he has?

[jesus]

it looks like a laptop since it's has an intel chipset and a 1.6ghz dual core so I don't think he'll be able to upgrade the graphics

[pilvlp]

Naw, he has a desktop.

and I believe he has PCI.

[jesus]

well atleast he can upgrade. you should find out if he has PCI or PCI-E
