Did you by chance search the newsgroup before asking ? I can see this
question is going to pop-up like 1 million times over the next 6 months.

Could be a few things. You might need to run BF2142 as Administraor. You
might need to run it in XP:SP2 compatibility mode. You might have to open up
some ports (or just temp disable) Vista's Firewall. You can also go to
www.evenbalances.com and download their PB update util and manually update
all the PB support games on your system, before starting the games.

Might try turning off the User Access Control (UAC) if the above doesn't
help.

Just for the record, I played 4 hours of BF2142 last night, so it should
work. Also note, under Vista I see about 65% memory load when playing BF2142
and I have 2GB of ram.

I confirm that BF2142 playes fine under vista ultimate 32bit. Just tonight
gave me the memory error for the first time, and there were UAC active for
the first time i've installed the system. Maybe UAC is the problem. Ohhh, i
run BF2142 in Administration mode.

I can't get 2142 to run at all. I don't even make it as far as the splash
screen. I've tried in Admin mode, and in compatibility mode. Even went so
far as doing a manual uninstall and reinstalling 2142, but nothing.

I guess the next questions are, are you using a nVidia card, Do you have the
Vista release of the Video card drivers for your card versus the drivers
that came with vista. I was able to get my 6800GT to work with BF2 during
the RC phase. I would expect you would at least be able to get the game to
load

When you say do a manual un-install, does that mean you upgraded from XP,
versus a fresh install of Vista ?

When you say, won't run at all, what errors do you get ? Or does BF2142
never do anything ?

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.

Good news! I dont know which of all the things that i tried did it, but it
now runs again. I have it set to run as administrator in windows xp sp2
compatability mode, i have renamed the movies folder so it is not read, and i
disabled the UAC (User account control). Somewhere in all this, the game
worked again. Hope this helps.

I'm almost willing to bet it's the movies folders. I've seen a few times in
the past where those bink movies have causes issues. Maybe if you install
RAD tools the problem will go away.

Glad you got it going ! Hope you caught part of the all unlocks weekend
