    Screen goes black after loading...

    Hey,

    I've recently reinstalled BF2 and BF2142 on a new computer. Well, not exactly new; my dads unwanted one. The specs are pretty poor but should be more than acceptable to run BF2/2142.

    AMD Athlon XP 2500+
    IGB Ram
    256 AGP Radeon 9950

    I can start both games up without any problems save for red screens when the opening videos should be playing. This doesn't bother me so much. The problem is when I start up a game, single player or multiplayer, it seems to load just fine, but when I click on 'join game' after the loading's complete the screen goes completely black. I can still hear sounds, but there's no pointer or anything.

    I should mention that I've updated my graphics card's drivers and patched both games up to the current version. I'm at a loss to what it could be. Anybody had similar problems that they've hopefully found a solution to?

    Thanks.

    You could try some old drivers, Omega drivers are pretty old http://www.omegadrivers.net/ati.php

      I think Natt is correct. my friend had an old laptop with an ati 9200 series, and the only drivers that would run bf2 were the omega drivers.
