Every time i try to join any server i crash to desktop.

I have W7 64bit and i NEVER had this problem earlier.

Yesterday i got a wierd problem that my cd key was already in use, then i was thrown out to log in screen and my account had been logged in somewhere else.... I logged in and everything was fine except i CTD every time i joined a server.

Come on! 15 ppl watch this and no answer?

I have tried to reinstall and update Punkbuster.

Did you remember to update with 1.41 then 1.5 when you reinstalled?

If you still have trouble run battlefield cleaner to flush out your video cache files

Still no joy?

Trash your BF2 cache files
Path:
C:\Users\'your user name here'\Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache

Throw EVERYTHING inside the folder named cache away.
don't worry the files will be replaced with new ones when the game restarts.

Still CTD?

OK
Some other things you can try before you uninstall/reinstall (again).
Backup your BF2 folder that's inside your documents folder. Once you have a backup delete the original from your documents folder.
Try starting PR from your PR shortcut
a new default folder is created
link to your online account.
If all goes well (CTD gone) all you have to do to get your custom settings back is copy your 'control' file from your backup to the new profile folder.
path:
C:\Users\your user name here\Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0002
note: you may not have a 0002 folder so use 0001
