I went to my

C:\Documents and Settings\TJ\My Documents\Battlefield 2\dmp

and found the Crash Dump Files and if I could reas them maybe I could find the issue causing it? Problem is I need a program to read any ideas? My Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition opens it but it dosnt show anything but a blank grey screen.

I think you need to download the windows debugging tools, and run WinDBG in order to see dmp files. Can get the package at Debugging Tools for Windows - Overview Hope that helps.

afaik the dmp file will give some assembler code that i personally cant do anything with your probably better off trying to get bf2 to give u the msg directly -> run bf2/pr in windowed mode

to get an error msg from bf2 you can start it in windowed mode:
change your link's parameters to "+fullscreen 0"
try reproducing the error and
then google the error message you get from bf2

Thats the thing, when I do run it in windows mode it still dosn't show any error code. It just CTD and thats all.

EDIT:

I'm trying the debugger I'll get back to you.

EDIT:

How am I suppose to use the DB? Sorry I've never used it before.
