BF2 does not run under Windows 8..0rz

[EXP-NoBody]

[SOLVED]

finally retired my old laptop(it can run PR but it's very laggy, that's why i gone afk..)

double click bf2.exe or pr.exe, black screen, then crash back to desktop

my spec:
Windows 8 Pro x64
Intel Core i5-3210M @2.5GHz
4GB DDR3 @800MHz
Intel Graphic HD4000 + nVidia GT650M 2GB GDDR5 (bf2 and pr.exe is set to run with GT650M)

i've made all drive up to date..

How i installed BF2:
i bought the legit copy of BF2 awhile ago, it was 3CD, put it in to CDROM and install like i used to, no erros
install 1.5 patch, it says i have a newer version installed, so i changed the registry make the Version = 1.0, 1.5 installed without error. then i installed PR, all 3 parts, no errors.


after searching on internet..still cant find a working solution

here is the things i've tried

- put pr.exe and bf2.exe run under all the compatibility mods with run as admin

- i've read this post :

after installing MSVC++ 2005 x64, restart the machine, no luck

this should be in support section btw

Try loading your profile under BF2 Vanilla first. Sounds like the bug you get if you don't do that.

nope, i deleted everything in profile and run bf2.exe, same thing happens.
