Go ty My Documents/Battlefield 2/Profiles/Default and open video.con file with notepad. You can see next line there: VideoSettings.setResolution 1280x1024@85Hz (that resolution and refresh rate can be differend of course) and change that refresrate to 60hz (in my ex. to VideoSettings.setResolution 1280x1024@60hz). Then go to My Documents/Battlefield 2/Profiles/0001 and do same for video.con file in that folder too. After that just run your game as normal.

I just can't even imagine how some one can play BF2 or use Windows with refresh rate of 60hz.. I can't under 85hz.

right click on desktop
goto properties
then settings
then advanced
then monitor
then change refresh rate
(you can select 'hide modes not supported by this monitor' to get the max Hz you can get on your particular monitor)
that should do it.

if you don't have 0001 folder it mean that you haven loged in with your account with that computer yet. But as long as there's refresh rate of 60hz in video.con file game should work (or then it's not working because some other reason). You can also delete whole video.con file so you'll get default video settings. And wooly-back-back: that's just for Windows and I think that wlater12 knew it already and it won't help with game.
