Vista Another fix to try when having crash to desktop issues

[sabwarfare]

So I did this fix and now I can't even load the game. the game splash screens then screen goes black (to load the game) then it goes right back to desktop

That would be because we're on 1.5 now and the download on the original post is for 1.41? This fix is obsolete anyway since BF2 1.5 includes it anyway.

Yes I was just getting on to post that I figured that was the problem but also I swiched it to windowed then back to fullscreen and now it wont crash. not sure if this is temp or not

I'm still getting the 'memory.dll: all alloc attempts failed for size' error whenever I try to play on the larger maps (eg. Qinling or Kashan). I've tried deleting the cache and that doesn't work. I've also changed my pagefile size to 1.5x that of my RAM. I haven't downloaded the modified BF2.exe because I'm running patch 1.5.

My Specs:
System Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
System Model: EP45-UD3
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 3326MB RAM
Page File: 663MB used, 7489MB available

Card name: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
Display Memory: 512.0 MB

EDIT: I found that for some reason closing Xfire stopped this problem.

Ok, I have read a good bit of this thread and I still can not get my BF2 to work. When I mount the image and placed the new BF2.exe in the folder and renamed the old exe to BF2.old and placed in a new folder it doesnt work. I have the downloadable version, no cd.

I get a flicker on my monitor like the game is loading and then back to desktop.

My computer specs are below

I hope somebody knows a fix, cuz I am burned out on the "Play for 10 min then crash" experience I have been dealing with. Thank you in advance
