    crash to desktop errors on startup (new one)

    i have read all the threads about crashes to desktop and tehy dont address my problem so here it is
    ive had the game since it came out and everything has been fine until now, i have isntalled each new patch taht has come out, as well as the special forces expansion... i had it on the latest version and it was playing fine, i hadnt played any special forces yet but the nromal game was running fine and then all of a sudden i started getting these black flickering screen and CTD error upon starting the game... i tried reinstalling the game along with erasing all the registry entries and deleting all the game data etc. and after a fresh isntall im getting the problem again...
    in fact i tried starting up the game before reinstalling the 1.12 patch and it loaded up fine until the screen where it asks if you want to play a singleplayer or multiplayer game... as soon as i click multiplayer it crashes to desktop... then i installed the patch 1.12 again and now it crashes on startup with the black flickering screen like before...
    the weird thing is all this started happening out of nowhere and unprovoked because the game was wokring fine. it was from one minute to the next i closed the game and started again and the CTD started happening...
    i am not about to wipe my HD to play a game, especially since it was wokring fine and i didnt change anything, so dont give me all this reformat crap and etc... i hope someone can give me a real solution to the porolbem here thx in advance

      I'm new here. I started crahing tonight when I changed monitors. I had a 19 in CRT and bought a 27 in Westinghouse tv/monitor. The PC looks great on it. I can play Call of Duty on it @ 1280x768, but BF2 will not load. Logged into Gamespy and MOH:Spearhead will not load. Any ideas? Tried changing resolutions, but no good.

        Try dropping your refresh rate

        Are you overclocking anything at all? Give us your PC specs.

            I got MOH to run. My resolution is 1280x720@75mhz, but I can only lower it to 74mhz at this resolution. Tried 800x600@60mhz but nothing. Reloaded the game. Nothing. Went down to NVIDIA 71.84 drivers. Nothing. It reads my monitor as: LTV-27w2, which is what it is. Manual recommends this resolution. I am using the DVI connection.

                It could be anything, from spyware to just a program you installed. Have you run a check for spyware? or can you remember if this problem started after doing something specific to other things into your pc like adding a new software or changed anything? Look it up

                  I unloaded the game. Made sure the registry was clear. Reinstalled. Patched. Works great now and looks good on my big screen. Thanks.

                    Sweet. Manual uninstall works for a lot of problems.

                      bpr; I bought a new 32" HDTV today, and as I hooked it up the game would CTD right away.
                      Since the problem seems to be the same you had with your 27" scree, I'm going to follow your advice, and reinstall the whole game/expansion/update package. I am also going to reinstall the video drivers. It MUST be the new TV 1280x720 causing those issues...
                      I am bringing this huge flat baby back if BF2 doesn't work on it lol j/k
