Thread: Windows 7 and BF2 issue..assistance needed please

Just did a new install of Windows 7 and BF2 is closing to the desktop on me with the following error in the application log;

A request to disable the Desktop Window Manager was made by process (BF2.exe)
The Desktop Window Manager was unable to start because composition was disabled by a running application

Any ideas on how to fix? I have already tried different versions of Nvidia display drivers. Also have tried runnning BF2 in Windows XP compatibility mode along with disabling desktop composition, visual themes with no resolve. I have spent hours on Google researching this, seen many reporting the same issues but no postings on a fix.

Think I found the fix..you need to turn off Data Execution Prevention (DEP) for BF2.

Change Data Execution Prevention settings
