Surprise, sorry there are so many threads like this but I can't find a solution

BF2 wont start for me, I try to launch it and the screen goes black for a second and then it just goes back to the desktop. I have tried reinstalling and it wont work. Maybe its my new 4870 but I don't know what to do

I'm going to go shovel

Happened to Dauntless a few hours ago. He made a thread then deleted it after realizing people don't like him and getting no replies for an hour.

If I remember correctly he also had a 4870 too.

Delete the bf2 folder in My Documents. Sounds like reso got fucked somewhere along the line (or refresh rate). Im pretty sure that can cause it
