i just installed battlefield 2 on vista home premium 32bit i have a dell xps m15300 with 4 gb ram 2.4ghz so its fast enough to run the game..
my computer uses nvidea geforve and it seems that my non-PnP monitor is set to 63hz refresh rate and i think it needs to be 60 for the game to work... how do i fix it? when i go into monitor settings its got a dropdown menu with only 62hz as an option.
I am in the process of having a laptop replaced by my insurance, but what
they are offering me is vista. As my old laptop and all back-up files are on
xp format i need to know if vista is at all compatable with xp, and if so, in
what form. Is this going to cause me unneeded hassel or should i insist with
my insurance that i have an xp laptop? Everything that i have heard about
vista so far has been negative to say the least.
I have had/used other computers using older software on other OS's, and they can run older versions of software. Do the Service Packs change these flaws? I understand downloading updates drivers and patches is important. But the upgrade advisor told me that some programs will not work at all. I'm thinking paritioning drives with different OS's is a good idea right now. But Some programs I have need to be updated anyways. Are there any utilities, or programs available that will run certain versions of certain programs that have a problem running in an OS like Vista? Or another OS?

I cant transfer my Sony handy cam DCR-HC44E mini DV tape over the usb cable to the computer, The picture package that comes with the camera has compatability problems with windows vista. Sombody tell me this issue has been resolved as surely its been noticed a long time now, surely its a simple thing for Microsoft to fix, are they just trying to get more money out of me
View 6 Replies View RelatedHas anyone had experience with compatability mode. I am a new Vista Premium user and have not seen this program.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to upgrade my Vista system to Windows 7. However, when it checks compatability issues, it tells me I cannot upgrade a 32 bit system to the Win 7 64 bit system. Problem is my Vista system IS 64 bit (AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core @ 3GHz, 4GB RAM, Vista SP2). Anyone know why this is happening, and if there is anything I can do to correct this problem, or do I just return the Win7 package?

You have to run in admin mode , else you will be booted by Punkbuster
Also had problems with online play being jerky. (where BF2142 is smooth as glass)
Rectified problem by running BF2 in XP Sp2 mode

I have this problem on Vista x6 which doesnt occur on x86. I install BF2 and the extras and patch to latest version available. The game runs fine (With tghe exception of nasty Widescreen support) But after playing for a while, no more than 20 minutes, it just crashes to desktop. This crash is silent, no error messages or anything.
I did a search for this and have seen the problem referenced in other threads but not in a thread that discusses it in detail. Does anyone else have/had this issue and if so any solutions known?
I'm on Vista x64 with 6GB of RAM, so I thought I would play a really cool game. I lost my copy of BF2 so I had to download a .iso of it. I patched (as in officially patched) the game after I installed it and now I have a big problem: the game then transfers to a black screen like it was loading, but then the game just crashes with no error messages. Can anyone give me a way to get this game to work?
I have a pretty decent system with 1800XT, P4 3.2Ghz, 2GB ram Battlefield 2142 used to run OK on XP -- not stellar, but it ran ~ 30fps at max settings @ 1024x768 In Vista, I get 100% CPU usage as soon as game starts -- even while only menu is displayed. In the game, at lowest settings @1024x768 I get about 15fps max, most of the time it is a completely unplayable <10fps. Moreover, it is not consistent, but lags for short period, then plays ok, then lags. In my previous Vista x64 install (where game was running worse than xp, but ok), I accidentaly enabled EAX on non SB sound card which caused huge CPU load and therefore huge lag -- I checked the settings this time, sound quality is at minimum and EAX is disabled.
I'm out of ideas -- why is CPU @ 100% all the time? Why is lag not constant, but does not depend on the complexity or amount of displayed material? While I play a game like Need For Speed Carbon -- Videocard is noticably stressed as fans kick in to full power, but with BF 2142 -- videocard seems to be chilling while processor almost never drops below 100%!!!! I have the most updated Videocard drivers available for Vista x64. This is pretty much the only game I play so I would really love to see this solved.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just recently bought the game and installed it, when I went to go run it my entire computer locks up and has to be hard booted. Looking on forums I ran it as administrator and also in Windows XP SP2 compatibly mode. Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem and my computer still locks up and requires a hard boot. I do not even get into the game before this happens. The screen stays at the desktop frozen. Another program I have also mimics this, Autodesk Inventor. Not sure if they are related but my teacher said that Vista 64bit seems to always be the problem. I would like to get both of these programs running, especially Battlefield 2142, but my computer seems to be fighting me. Many other games work, it is the deluxe edition, patched till 1.50.
