I'm going to assume you meant GB, not MB, right??

If you wondering on what settings to have the game at, when the game loads intially it will set it at the recommended settings that the game chooses from reviewing your PC. See if you have any lag on single player. If not those settings should be good to play online. If you still receive lag on multiplayer there could be either, bad server - i mean a server that is located far away (differeent country) this would be that your ping wil be high. Anything above 120 ping is poor. Aim for 30 - 70 for good performance. A fast broadband is always essential especially for a game like BF2.

When playing the game (or trying) you may receieve some combatibility error messages. Simply right click on the game icon (on desktop or even could be on your programs menu) and then on the compatibility tab check "Run as administrator".

Thank you very much sheepz. I will load the game one day when i have time and if i start having problems i will come back for some more information. Oh and I'm sorry my post was a little vague. Thank you.

All the bf's are working great on vista for me but you may try letting your program put the icon on desktop then right click and under advanced you can change it and tick run as admin (from now on) then it will always be that way. I do not use xp mode or whatever.

Then if you want you can drag the icon to the games folder and then delete the one on the desktop to keep everything organized

Okay, I installed battlefield 2 on Vista, it said that the game has only been tested on 32-bit systems, but I finished the instillation anyway without problem. Then I found out about the 1.41 patch, I installed it, it installed without problem.

Okay, I tried to open it, and it showed the game graphic that it shows before it starts up, you know, it says battlefield 2 in real big letters. Then the screen turned black for a second like it was loading the game, but then it just went back to the desktop and nothing happened, no battlefield 2 minimized icon in the task bar or anything. Then i tried running it as admin, and the same thing happened. I did this multiple times, and the same ting always happens. By the way, the game icon is on the desktop, it was the whole time, I told the game to put it there during installation.

Please, does anyone know what I can do to get battlefield 2 to run on my computer running vista premium??? Anything at all would be greatly appreciated, I really want to play this game, I played the demo on my other XP comp before, and I'll do anything to play it on this comp, as my other comp is broken. permanently. I'd like to only use partitioning and installing XP and a last resort only, so don't tell me to do that.

Thanks to anyone who can help me.
