Vista - starwars battlefront 2

on starwars battlefront 2 when trying to play the game it lets me get all the
way to trying to start a game and then it shuts down, it doesnt give me any
errors or anything and im running it in compatability mode but it just wont
run the games when i try to play them does anyone know if its just that vista
doesnt allow it or is there something else i need to do (i even run it as
admin)

First, cool name! Second, make sure you have the newest drivers for your
hardware (video card is an important one).

I have, works fine, no tweaks needed, and when you say you've done all
updates are you talking windows updates, or did you go out and find the
latest drivers for your video/sound cards, chipsets, etc? I haven't seen a
computer make or model number, if you know what kind of hardware you have in
your system you might want to list it so we can make better recommendations.

Register, it's free, and use the 'search for solution' tab for any problems

i have the same problem, and as far as i can tell i have all the updates for my hardware.

alright, I am a new user to Vista forums, and i have your solution. I went into the control panel, Hardware and Sound, Then sound, then I right clicked on the white box and selected show disabled devices, then I went into the Recording Tab, and there was a Stereo Mix device disabled, so I enabled it. Now the game works completely fine now. i had to do this with my game because when i tried to join a server, the game crashed to the desktop, the sound still works, you just had to do what i just told you and it works fine.... spread this around so everyone else gets their fun playing bf2 =D
