Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and BF2 compatibility

I am running Win 7 Prem 64 bit with no problems.

Does this laptop have a decent graphics card?

What integrated graphics card does it have? My friend had a 2-3 year old Toshiba laptop with integrated graphics that couldn't run anything...so you might be out of luck.

Have you downloaded the alt+tab fix?

Hey make sure your laptops refresh rate is set to 60Hz. Because by default the game loads up 800x600@60Hz. I remembered I had that same issue on my laptop because my GPU setting was set to 59 or 55Hz (don't remember which one). Changed it to 60Hz and game started up with no problem...

Integrated Graphics + BF2 = No Game for you. Unless you have one of those overpriced complete waste of everything good, 20 cores and 50,000 GBs of RAM laptops then it may just pull it off. I'm running Win7 Pro 32-bit - I don't remember having problems after upgrading. It workedsmooth right of the bat.

More times than not Xav, BF2 wont load up correctly if the graphics settings are too low. I know Palerider had a way to go in and adjust it before actually launching it so that it would load up and stay running. You might need to research how to manually change the default graphics settings before it will run correctly.
