Maybe lower the resolution.

Try to run it at 800x600 at 60 by editing the file.

Try that and get back to us.

You could try forcing the resolution to be right.

"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1680 +szy 1050

That should do the job.

Or it could be something totally different.

Update video driver, Catalyst 6.12 resolved that issue long ago.  (I assume you are using an ATI card)
