Mmmm K, so the demo was not running smooth for me but I put that down to just issues with that, surely they wouldnt cause issues in the real game......  Apparantly they do, I just finished the ea downloader and installed, put the patch in, got in and within about 3 minute's it breaks down and I get that blue screen saying there was an error.  Also, the game isnt fully rendered, I get huge black spot's here there and everywhere and my spotting thing text goes black to.  Choppy play after a bit then again, it will crash.  I remember when I got the new graphics card (ati x1300) bf2 had the same kind of issue, but after I updated the driver's it calmed down and ran fine on a sort of medium setting for smooth game play.  I am running 2142 on medium with a few low's and on 1024x768, so it isnt exactly the hardest settings to run, and yet its failing so badly.  According to windows defender I have no viruses, norton scan doesnt turn up any result's, so I find myself thinking, WTF IS WRONG!!!!!!??????

The machine is about 2 and half years old so it is nearing the end of it's life with me, but I really dont wanna have to by a new machine till the vista capable machine's are in ready supply and for half descent price's.

I aint wonderfully computer minded but the spec's are

Intel pentium 4 HT 3.2ghz
Ati x1300
160gh HD
1gb of ram

Any idea's guys?  Any help?  It's doing my friggen head in and I lack any patience what so ever.  Do hurry in any help before this thing goes in the fuckin river!

Thankin u in advance,

You probably got a bad download. Similar things happened to me with the demo and patch 1.01, I do not know how to re-download the game. If someone would like to share it may help.

As per usual EA has released a game with crappy coding, I am running a high-end system,x1800xt overclocked to higher than x1900xtx, and I had an issue with screen resolution on a 19" lcd, all the drivers were updated. So, it is either you need a driver update or its just simple crappy coding and we can hope they fix it in 3 or 4 patches from now
