    I just reinstalled BF2 and I patched it 1.41 and when I try to load up the game the splash screen appears than it goes right back to the desktop. Help me...

    A BF2 CTD can be caused by so many things. You need to give us more information.

    The game has worked before so tell me what info you want. I even tried it with SLI off and the profile selected in the Nvidia Control Panel. I have no Spyware/Virus/Malware/Adware or anything else either.

    Try searching google, its just so many things that can be causing it, one cannot know by simply asking what is wrong and expecting answers that will solve the problem.

    Nothing appears when it crashed. There is no "Send error report/"Don't send error report" thing.

    To check the event log:

    Go to run and paste this: %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s

    Then check the system and application tabs and look for the time that the CTD occurred and check the log.

    Ok, great! That was the first suggestion. LOL.

    I though you have already tried that with no avail.

    I've had that problem on many occasions before but I never thought about it until I tried to launch COD2 and it gave me an error.
