Yes it would most definately be your video card causing the problem. What card do you have?
Also read the system requirements on the side of the box. (you will need a magnifying glass as the writing is so so tiny!)

my card info

thanks grumpy
I think its a ASUS V8460 series... does that make sense?

however when I right click on the desktop to see the screen info it
says its a GE Force4 Ti 4200 does that make more sense
I think I downloaded the NVIDIA that came with the game?
cause that is mentioned there too

well do you know if I can update it to run battlefield 2
or am I up for a new card as well?

thanks for you help mate

Unfortunately for you Battlefield 2 does not support the GE Force4 Ti 4200.
As far as I remember anyway? You will need a new card to play.

Even if you do get it to play with the workaround, you'll most-likely suffer from poor performance. Recommend new card.

@scaz
Yes you are quite correct in what you say but I will have to totally agree with what 'Slon' says.

@luvthegames
I used Google to do a quick search for 'how to play battlefield 2 with DirectX 8'
This site seems to have some useful info.
They also say the program '3DAnalyze' could be helpful. I dont know as I havent had to use it.
Read the whole thread as they talk about possible problems with Punkbuster as you will be technically using a hack to play!

There were other sites in the Google search but I havent looked at them all, I have given you a starting point though.

Good Luck
