Accidentaly changed my Resolution

I just got a new screen and a new graphics card and was changing my settings on PR, and when I went to change my resolution to 1600X900 I accidentally set to 1600X1200 85HZ. Now, whenever I load game all I get is a black screen and I have no idea how to change it back(considering I cant see anything). I need a way to change the resolution without being in game. I've also already tried uninstalling and re-installing.
Thank you to any tips in advance.
And sorry if hard to read, english is not my language.

Go to C:\Users\you\Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001 (or Libraires\My Documents\Battlefiled 2\Profiles\0001 ) and locate file called "Video.con"
Open this file in Notepad or some other text ( hex ) editor and change this line:
"VideoSettings.setResolution NNNNxNNN@NNHz"
It should be like this for you
Code: Select all
VideoSettings.setTerrainQuality 3
VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 3
VideoSettings.setLightingQuality 2
VideoSettings.setDynamicLightingQuality 0
VideoSettings.setDynamicShadowsQuality 0
VideoSettings.setEffectsQuality 3
VideoSettings.setTextureQuality 3
VideoSettings.setTextureFilteringQuality 3
VideoSettings.setResolution 1600x900@60Hz
VideoSettings.setAntialiasing 8Samples
VideoSettings.setViewDistanceScale 1
VideoSettings.setVideoOptionScheme 3
If that wont work, you must find your profile folder ( it might be 0002 0003 etc )

Go to \My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\000*(Where * is a number. If you have multiple BF2 profiles there will be multiple folders, and you'd have to find the correct one).
Then open Video.con in notepad.
There you should find a line that says VideoSettings.setResolution 1600X1200@85Hz. Change that to whatever you want and save the file.
