I am tired of this. A year of posting tech queries and BF2 still doesnt work (Multiplayer only, single works fine)

As soon as I click on a server in the browser, the music fades out, the mouse disappears and the game freezes.

Vista Home Basic.

Newest Video drivers, yes.

Uninstalled and Re-Installed a bazillion times.

Deleted folder in my documents.

Someone mentioned something about a registry cleanup, but I have no confidence doing this, as I am not as proficient in vista.

Please, for the love of god, bf2s. I am at my wits end.

(Edit) Patch 1.41 only.

I would reformat before spending hours and hours troubleshooting

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

I desperately want to avoid formatting.
Too much of a time waster.
That being said, a year of troubleshooting.

reformatting time < 1 year of troubleshooting

Is it even worth the trouble? If you were willing to try anything, you WOULD format, as that is probably the best solution as you've been troubleshooting for over a year. But seriously, is it even worth the hassle of any other troubleshooting? Just do it the easy way as it's been a YEAR already!

I dont think you can get away from a format really if that is the only step you have not taken ...

Well now, this is exciting. Instead of just a crash, I got an error message.
Making progress here.
memory.dll: thread 3728 is deallocating main thread memory.

Are you running as administrator?

EDIT: And running compatibility for XP?

Try compatibility mode for XP. BF2 has always fucked up for me if I didn't do that in Vista.

So wait you couldn't play it for a year because you didn't run it in compatibility mode? if you had listed the problem before that would be the first thing someone would suggest.

If you haven't reformatted in a year, it's really time for it, anyhow. I would never be able to live with a year-old Windows install, six months MAX!

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
