Re: Battlefield 2142 not running in vista
I am using a Nvidia 6800 with the vista drivers. I also did the upgrade from
XP to vista. BF2142 wouldn't run or do anything, so I followed EA's
directions to do a complete manual "uninstall" for the program, then
re-installed the program.

I do not get any error messages or dialogue boxes. The program simply
doesn't do anything, other than start up EA Link.
