battlefield 2 compatability issues help please!!

g'day 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....

help please

The refresh rate only affects your monitor, your game will still run. However, you have to specifically give us the specs of your video card.

Hi Sickdrummer,

The refreshrate setting on LCD monitors makes no difference it only serves to cause more problems with LCD monitors, Have you updated BF2 with the latest game patch from EA ?

You didn't answer my last question, Have you installed the latest Battlefield 2 game Patch?

That is true, you must confirm that you have installed every single patch that has been released by EA, else you won't be able to run the game without trouble.

OK, then try this - download Driver Cleaner Professional download from Guru3D.com and install it. Next reboot into Safe Mode. Run Driver Cleaner, and clean out your nVidia driver entries. Now, reboot back into normal mode. Download the absolute latest drivers for your video card and install them (make sure you don't try to fool the system by using newer drives - enter the card info *exactly*, as in GeForce 8 series, and your OS version, and download the driver that it shows you.

See if that helps.
