Launch Issues: The most common problem with BF2 is that the game crashes to desktop or goes to a black screen when you first launch it. I found this below on a site about the game.

(I am VERY frustrated because I can not seem to find a reason for the problem.) If you need the Dxdiag details or it in hijackthis form I have them ready. I have also edited the shortcut to Battlefield 1942 making it say Run in 640 x 480 screen Resolution if I should of not of done this although in the FAQ I should have tell me. Note: I have emailed them (about 4 days ago) with no response, and posted on EA forum (1-2 days ago) with no response this is my alternative and I hope someone here can help me. If you have a reason/cause for this problem and or a answer to it please respond. I have read the FAQ fully and I have checked out everything the FAQ says could cause this problem at the EA Games Support site. I have un-installed it and re-installed it again and it still does not work. I have a screen resolution of 800 by 600 Pixels, color quality of Highest (32 bit), and a screen refresh rate of 57 Hertz and I can not go any lower without my screen going black and doing the out of range thing. I have all the requirements for the game and Battlefield Vietnam works fine but not 1942 and expansions. I can still here the music but I cannot see the image.

When I turn on Battlefield 1942 the screen comes out black and says Out of Range.
