alright i run mine at the 800 600 but i have the option of 1280 1024 at 60ghz....idk or i could run 800 by 600 at 72ghz...would that give me better performance form th 60?
This is exactly what reforce does: Adds custom refresh rates, thereby forcing a display to the desired refresh. You just did what I told you to do, except in a different way.

Just stick with the 60hz - I don't really think most people would notice the difference in the refresh rates.. I don't think it'd give you better performance. Definetly go for the higher resolution if it runs good... mine can run 1400*1050 juts fine ( i thinks that the one)
You know I actually tried to do the same thing using the 1680x1040 only with no success, but once I set the 800 x 600 and than updated all the standard resolution under 60Htz it worked like a champ... thanks for pointing out the lower resolution fix... and so I must say I stand corrected and this issue is fixable.
yeah i read the thread, the fix worked for 800x600 and 1280x1024 and nothing else, i would like it to run at 1680x1050 and all the 'fixes' haven't worked for that but it does run.
The annoying thing is that with the engine and graphics the game had so much potential... *sigh* imagine Operation Flashpoint with graphics like that... (the sequal doesn't look much better than the original to be honest).
I cannot play Battlefield 2142 nor Northern Strike.
After I install the game and start to run the game it crashes and asks me to insert the disk.
I have reformatted numerous times using both XP and Vista, and using various NVidia drivers nothing fixes the problem.
I did some research and it appears that there are many people with the same problem.
My monitor only runs at 59hz refresh rate, but when I plug in an auxilliary CRT or LCD monitor and select 60hz on the auzillary monitor, i can play the game on the auxilliary monitor.
A quick search on Google confirms that many people are having this same problem.
When can we expect a patch to fix this issue and allow us to play the game at 59hz?

Hello!
Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts Technical Support. I apologize for the difficulty you're having with Battlefield 2142.
Unfortunately, the game does not support and is not tested to run in 59 Hertz refresh rate. Please make sure that the refresh rate is set to 60 Hertz in order to run the game.
Should you require further assistance about this or any Electronic Arts games in the future please visit our website and review our extensive Self Help knowledgebase.
EA is right... it is a HP issue and their Graphics card. some shipped with 60MHz and others with 59Mhz. We had a work around but it has been so long I have forgotten it.

I got my buddies at 1280 x 900 which I guess is their highest widescreen format....
No problem. I hope that alot of people with this problem can find this thread through google.
Read through the thread. There is a fix.
