Windows 7 Service Pack 1 = BF2/PR CTD?

[a4especibot]

I know there have been somewhat similar threads on this.

However, please read on first.

BF2/PR and BF2142 have all worked fine till I installed the Windows 7 Service Pack 1 update from Windows Update last week.

Now, when I launch the normal Start menu short-cut:

a) PR: Shows PR Custom splash screen, then screen turns to black to play videos but doesnt, and closes PR to desktop. No error messages, nothing.
b) BF2: Doesn't show splash screen, then screen turns to black to play videos but doesnt, and closes PR to desktop. No error messages, nothing.
c) BF2142: Doesn't show splash screen, then screen turns to black to play videos but doesnt, and closes PR to desktop. Displays a Windows error dialog box "BF2142.exe has stopped working."

There have been no other hardware/software changes on my computer other than those given by Windows Update, Steam updates etc. I can rule out any issue of hardware because other (both more demanding or legacy) titles work fine, and my rig exceeds minimum requirements for sure. Nevertheless:

Gigabyte EP45 Extreme
Intel Core2Quad Q9650 (3.00GHZ)
2x2GB A-ram DDRII 1066MHZ + 2x1GB GEIL DDRII 800MHZ
Gigabyte HD6850 1GB
Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB
Blu-ray Drive, USB peripherals, Wireless card etc.

Does anyone else experience this problem? Post a BRIEF REPLY below if you do. Any solution?

Hmm no problems here with WIn7 SP1, btw i use new sandy board with 470 GTX.

Edit erhaps windows updated your vid-card drivers?

You can try to revert to a previos system restore point which most likely was created prior to the SP installation.

Also try with updateing your video drivers.

Yes, it seems to have fixed by itself. Not sure why.
