    My problem is that I can't play any Battlefield on my laptop. While those who run home edition don't face any problem with it. Does anyone have a solution ?
    Thanks

    What kind of error messages do you get? If Battlefield supports Windows Vista then it will run on any version.

    The games opens and then closes... People with family edition don't face this problem.

    Have you tried installing an updated version of the DX9C runtime?

    Hmm. Could your current video driver be causing the game to crash?

    How much RAM do you have?

    If you are going to run Vista and use for hardcore gaming you will need 2GB

    "2GB is the new 1GB" <~~this is true
