Try reinstalling the latest Battlefield 2142 Update 1.4 Beta 2 from the EA games website, I believe it fixes some errors your having...If you paid for the product contact EA there under obligation to provide support for customers having difficultly or product crashes.

I just had a fresh install of BF2142 + 1.40 FINAL patch

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 .
BF2142 also sometimes needs administrative rights, under the compadibility tab in properties tick "run as administrator"

I had a simler problem, try reinstalling the game and make sure you are installing the patches in the right order.

Yep, and there is always a chance for older games that do not work to run in "Windows XP SP2" Compatibility mode, together with "Run as Adminisitrator" [both under properties as I recall, although I am at my workplace sitting at an XP ]... Worked for me with Far Cry (here even fixed video problems); BF2142 and one other... now what was it... Fable I guess.

Cheers,

I fixed the problem, It was the old X-FI driver (004), I had to re-install windows anyway, after that I installed X-FI drivers (006) and now its running fine..

Thank you all for your replies

interesting, alright.

I was going to suggest to run the game in Administrator Mode (without the Windows XP compatibility). It works perfectly here.
