I would suggest you delete the contents of the BF2 folder located under "my documents", (it will be rebuilt the next time you launch the game). Reason being: This folder stores your game profile which will have the shaders saved from your previous video card, which will cause a problem since you installed a new card.

So just delete the contents and keep the folder there?

Just delete the whole folder. Once it's deleted and you start the game back up, you will have to set your user name & password + all in-game settings.

Ok....cool.

Thanks

I deleted that folder under documents and it crashed again.is there anything in the actual directory that should be deleted?

I deleted that folder under documents and it crashed again.is there anything in the actual directory that should be deleted?Do I have to reboot to?

I forgot to say my hard drive is partioned and the BF2 directory is on one partiton and the BF2 folder in the doc and settings is on the other.

Windowed mode: C:\...\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 0

Custom resolution: C:\...\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 0 +szx 1024 +szy 768

once u do that then the game gets dumb and re optimizes the shaders. is it crashing durring the intro movies? oh read above again sorry. um... try reinstalling the drivers for creative i had to do that for the games to realize i had it.

That makes sense.Funny thing about this XFI Card,when i installed the video card i had to reinstall the drivers for XFI.I tried to update drivers to fro website and got this error message"unable to load CTCabEx.dll"...grrrrr

Should i uninstall drivers for control panel first for sound card.?

[reaverclan]

um shoot u got me, me i have no idea i use the update client that came with the drivers its in your program file with the control panel.

Thanks

Cheers
