I have seen a couple threads regarding the "Crash 2 Desktop Issue" with Battlefield 2 version 1.3. This is NOT an issue with the crack or mini-image (although being kicked by Punkbuster is different)

The problem is actually with the stability of the 1.3 Patch. The best place to research this problem is EA Forums and BF2s.com. I do not use any cracks or mini-images for BF2 and was having the same problem. I never got the game working decently w/ 1.3 even after a fresh install of windows..

What does help with 1.3 is:
  • Turning Off the TeamSpeak client
  • Set the Affinity of BF2.exe to a single processor on multiple cores or disable HT on your Mobo.
  • Wait a few seconds before clicking "Join Game"
  • Curse at your Monitor and wait for 1.4 (my choice)

The 1.4 Beta is available from EA.. I am using this now and the game has been running much better w/ no "Crash 2 Desktop" crap. You can get it from EA Games BF2 page. I recommend the FULL (500Mb) Patch.
