is it when you start the exe ? or after you are already playing for a while.
The black screen of death is when you are running the game on laptop lcd with a 61hrz refresh rate , only way to get the game starting is by hooking up an old crt monitors to the laptop.
If its a desktop try setting your refresh rate to 60/75 and see what happens. Its related to refresh rate and bf2 being very picky about it with default settings

Your best bet is to still fiddle around with some refresh rates. And make sure the battlefield settings are also reflecting those setting by adaptiong your profile manually in your my documents/games/bf2/profile folder

make sure to have installed bf2 patches 1.41 and 1.5 (in that order)
run pr and installers as administrator (guess that'll be a problem at your office?)

How exactly do I install the 1.41 patch over my current install, if I can't even install the 1.5 patch because it says my game is currently patched to the latest version? (I bought a new copy of the game yesterday because I couldn't find my old disk.)

1.5 patch is incremental it does need 1.41 (full) to be installed
run the installers as admin:
first 1.41
then 1.5
