This seems to be a bug that effects ATI users.

I'm looking into it myself and I have NVIDIA. The solution on the other thread doesn't help me. I'm going to keep searching around for now.

Just to be sure, you run in XP SP3 compatibility mode and as administrator, right?

(rightclick on shortcut > properties > compatibility tab)

That along with a driver's update seems to have fixed it! Thank you.

I just uninstalled the open beta and now i am getting this error with my .981

edit:
might have something to do with me unplugging my DVI input and swapping the ports (as in the part that was plugged into the computer is now plugged into the monitor and vice versa)

I just got this, solved it by changing my resolution to fit with my new screen, on Documents/Battlefield 2/Profile/Your profile/Video.con. Then my game started working again. Might work for others.
