Hi! I need some help to fix my battlefield issues. When i run BF2 the splash screen shows up as normal, then the screen goes black like if it was about to initialise, but then a message pops-up says: "BF2 er holdt op med at virke" which on english means something like "BF2 stopped working", then it searches for a way to repair it somehow, but nothing showes up. This happens everytime i run it. I'm using windows 7 64-bit. Please help me!
Hi there,
Could you please fill out the rest of your system specs so we can better assist you? Click 'User CP' at the top of this page, then click 'Edit System Spec' on the left-hand side. Let me know if you have any questions!
Cheers,

I hope that helps...
It does immensely. Also quite clearly shows what the problem is,
Graphics Card Integrated Intel® Graphic Media Accelerator 3100
BF2 does not now and never has supported Intel graphics. Even if you did manage to somehow get the game to run on it, it will look like crap and be a slideshow. Pretty much comes down to you want to play that game, you're going to have to get an actual video card. According to the specs for your Dell it does have a PCI-E x16 slot, so if you want to get a card let us know what kind of budget you have and we can recommend something.
Crap, i just spend the most of my money on a new Pc to figure out that my favourite game wont work. Anyway, i'll figure out a budget. And thanks alot for the help i really appreciate that.
My budget atm is 5000 dkk. which is about 940 USD. so could you guys please recommend me a good graphic card that supports bf2?

Thanks alot! This have really helped me!
Do you know if bf2 can run on this graphics card? GeForce 6800 512MB GDDR2 / AGP / DVI / TV-OUT
Your Machine should have a PCI-e video slot and not an AGP slot, so that 6800 wouldn't work in your Dell.
The 6800 (it was available as AGP and PCI-e) will run BF2 but unless you are getting that series of card for free, I wouldn't bother since it is so slow compared to current cards.
I know for a fact that BF2 works great on these cards, 8800GT, 9800GT, GTX 260, GTX 275, GTX 285.
In America, these cards sell for $100 to $400.
The GTX models might require you to upgrade your power supply in your Dell, but normal ATX power supplies won't fit into some Dell cases without modifying the case a little.
