Register, it's free, and use the 'search for solution' tab for any problems

hmm Games are allways fun trying to figure out the cause of an appcrash,


check PunkBuster is enabled and updated, evenbalance have a tool
available to check and update for you 'PunkBuster Online
Countermeasures'
(http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php...ort-bf2142.php) .
BF2142 also sometimes needs administrative rights, under the
compadibility tab in properties tick "run as administrator"

I get the exact same crash, I was worried I was the only one.

Multiplayer: As soon as I double click to join a server it goes black, then
crash to desktop. I was getting BSODs but downloading a new sound card
driver fixed it somehow.
Singleplayer: Loads map but as soon as its done loading i get same as above.

This has never happened before and just started today after I installed SP1!

MICROSOFT HELP!!!
