lotr :bfme 2

Try right clicking the exe and select "Run as Administrator". You can do
that in addition to the compatibility settings.

Also, are you getting any errors, or will it just not start?

all i get is it to start loading then it just stops on titile screen and
says bfme 2 has stopped working looking for a solution. I have tried
checking the admin box turning off the the uac and it still doesnt work. I
have update the patches for it and am running the lastest drivers for my
graphics card. I have followed EAs advice in there forum. I have followed
VG scottys ideas but still cannot get it to work.

running on windows vista), did you end up solving it? If so, could you
please tell me.



Cheers, Sean

Right I installed the game on my machine, and it went in just fine (I also
have UAC turned off and didn't bother running it in compat mode) and ran
without a problem, so I also installed it on my laptop and also it was fine,
so I'm waiting for a colleague to test it on his machine and see if we can
get it to fail, it's frustrating that we can't get it to fail (I know it
sounds strange) as I really want to sort this problem out.

I have the same problem, I tried the premissions fix, and patched to
1.06, and it still doesn't work...
When I googled about it I Found someone who OC (overcloked) his machine
and installed and he had this problem(even non OC), but than he
installed it non OC and than played fine (even OC). So I Gues there
somthing with instalition?

I have tried to get this game working but I still cant no matter what I try.
I still keep looking just incase I find a way of doing it but I am very
doubtful that I will...
