Visit this page: Can You Run It


Battlefield 2 is in the list - see if it's something else that is stopping the demo from running. It could be RAM, CPU, etc.

I get to the page after I chose the game, then nothing happens should it promt me to download somthing? Sorry bout my spelling

[LiNuX]

Yeah, you have to download their software, that's how they scan your PC to see if the game will work. Completely safe.

problem is it says i can not play battlefeild nam but I am playing it so i can not really trust it. I may need more video ram though. how do I get that?

[LiNuX]

it's not that it can't be trusted, it only tells you if you meet the minimum and recommended requirements to play certain games to the fullest extent. You can still play it but this helps you figure out why you may have trouble loading things such as that error you've been getting.

You need a new graphics card to get more video memory.
