Have you tried re-installing DX9.0c?

[^Garf*uk*]

try re-install dx9/drivers m8:)
or roll back a driver:D
which drivers are u using m8:confused:

[ptegan]

Your graphics card, RADEON 9000 PRO AGP, isn't able to run Battlefield 2 I'm afraid.

[Talus]

Well...it COULD be worth a shot. Some unsupport chipsets HAVE been known to work.

What I don't get is WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL BUYING GAMES WITHOUT CHECKING THE MIN REQS ON THE BOX????

Download the DEMO people!

[imported_Wasp]

Install DirectX 9.0c. It comes with the game. I doubt the game will run on your 3D card though.
