I've been playing battlefield 2 online for more than a month now, with almost no problem, but today when I tried booting up special forces, everything was upside-down, and is still upside down. So I am making this post from a monitor which has physiacally been turned upside down, so I can read and write this post.
I played BF2 all this morning with no problem. Then I went to go get my car fixed, which took about 3 1/3 hours. I came home, booted up my computer, which is running windows XP professional, with a Pentium 4, 3.0 GHz, 1GB of RAM, and an ATI Radeon X-800 Pro. I've been having a few problems with my computer and also in the game.
I purchased the battlefield 1942 anthology, which comes with BF1942 and it's two expansions, and battlefield vietnam. I also installed battlefield 2 collectors edition, which comes with battlefield 2, battlefield 2 special forces expansion set, and the armored fury and euro force booster packs. All of those games are successfully installed and on my computer at the moment.
Sometimes during BF2's gameplay, the game simply shuts off, and my computer goes into desktop. There have been times where thye game has locked up, and I am forced to turn off my computer, and when I turn it back on, it say's that windows is checking my hard drives for "consistancy".
For some reason, when I go into control panel, and into "add and remove programs", I try to uninstall battlefield 1942, it's expansions, and battlefield vietnam, since I don't really play them. But they do not uninstall, instead, it say's that it has "finished performing maintainance on the program".
After my screen was inverted when I tried to boot-up BF2 special forces, I exited the game, and went into desktop. However, my screen was not inverted, but it was on 800X600 resolution. I normally keep my 1680X1050 resolution with high color depth. And it was also set to 256 color mode.
I went into display in the control panel, and set it back to 1680X1050 with 32 bit color, and everything seemed to be okay. I turned off my computer and left to go somewhere in a hurry. When I came home, I turned my computer back on, and my screen was at a normal resolution, but was upside-down. I went into my graphics card control center, and I can't find anything wrong.
When I woke up this morning, I got this weird message once I got into desktop. It said something like, but I can't remember exactly, "your graphical settings have been changed", and something about driver incapatability. I didn't know what that meant, so I just pressed cancel, and played BF2 for a few hours before I left. And as I said, when I returned, and tried booting up BF2SF, thats when the screen turned upside down and the resolution got crazy.
I tried double-clicking on the BF2 desktop icon, but the game does not start. A few other problems I have noticed in the weeks following up to these events, is being unable to delete desktop icons, especially an icon of a game that I uninstalled. (if you click on it, or highlight it, the computer freezes for about 30 seconds and starts back up, and you can't delete the icon AT ALL! I go into add/remove programs, and it say's that battlefield 1942 road to rome and secret weapons of world war II take up only 2-5 MB disk space, which is IMPOSSIBLE! I have even played both of them in the past successfully.
Could I have some kind of horrible virus? Could it be a hardware problem? Could someone have hacked my computer? Could it be a video driver/software issue? If anyone reading this knows ALOT about computers, please tell me what the problem could be! I am in desperate need of help as my computer is no longer in warranty.
