That annoying problem

[Colonel Krieger]

Hi, I'm having that problem you guys have likely seen thousands of times but I'm clueless about computers and I basically need someone to hold my hand through this.

So I just spent my 50 bucks on BF2 a few hours ago and downloaded it, then when I try to start the game, I get the black screen and it sends me back to the desktop. I have my DxDiag text file, but for some reason the "Manage Attachments" won't let me upload

BTW I'm a freshman, which is probably why I'm so stupid.

Re: That annoying problem

This issue is typically caused by a conflict with the video card or video card drivers. Make sure your video card meets the requirements for the game, and that your drivers are the newest version available from the manufacturer.

The supported video cards are as listed below:

ATI Radeon

*
X700 (PCIe), X600 (PCIe), X800 XT Platinum Edition, X800 PRO, X300 series.
*
9800 series, 9700 series, 9600 series, 9559 (RV350LX), 9500 series, 8500 series.

NVIDIA GeForce

*
6600 (PCIe), PCX 5900 (PCIe).
*
5800 series (AGP).
*
6800 Ultra, 6800 GT, 6800.
*
FX 5950 series, FX 5900 series, FX 5700 series.

If you are not using one of these video card chipsets, the game may run improperly or may not run at all. The game was tested to communicate properly with the aforementioned chipsets using the newest drivers. If you have one of these cards but are still experiencing the issue, it is likely that the drivers you have are not the newest manufacturer version.
