Re-install and maybe its your refresh rate, try to lower that.
Did it have an error message?

Same here. Every time I start up BF2 I get a black screen for 5 seconds and then I get a windows error report message saying that it needs to close. I know that I have a low end machine but I figured if I can run BF1942 and Desert Combat I could play BF2. I knew the map loading would be very slow but I was hoping I could AT LEAST play BF2.

XP Pro
P4 1.8GHz
256 RAM
80GB harddrive
FAT 32 system
NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX 400

I'm thinking it might be the memory or the video card. But I've heard that you can run BF2 on 256 of RAM. I dont know maybe someone can help me out on my situation.

You need a monimum of a 5000 series FX card, such as a Geforce FX 5500 or better. A Geforce 2MX400 isnt even close.

Well, I have a GeForce 4 TI 4600. Dunno if that will work with it or not, but I still get the same black screen, and the program just quits.

Not a chance mate, the intel integrated cotrollers are crap.

DraGoNsLaYeR, yours should work, however there has been rash of problems with a buggy download, don't know if ithis is your problem but it could be.
