When i start up bf2, i get the usual battlefield 2 picture in the middle of the screen.  The screen then turns black as it normally would, but never actually starts up the game.  The program stops responding and ctrl+alt+delete is the only way to bring it down aside from a hard reset. 

If i try and start the game using the disk, both the "play now" and "start BF2" options are greyed out and cannot be selected.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK thanks, i was going to do that, but i wanted to make sure there was no other solution before going through the lengthy process of uninstalling, reinstalling and repatching.

.....I think i just realized my problem thanks to the above post.   I have bf2 set up so it automatically logs me in, well if no one can log in, i guess thats my problem.  I knew no one else could log in but i never really put 2 and 2 together.  That doesn't make sense though that i cant start using the CD

I had a similiar problem, and according to the old EA Games support forum, its a problem with directx. I had to run dxdiag, go to sound, and change it from Full Acceleration to Standard Acceleration. Be careful though this may mess up things for other games.
