BF2 Install issues. Help me b4 I get to play in a padded room all day :)

I have just got my hands on battlefield 2 and after installing it the game seemed to be running fine, THEN i did what i was supposed to and ran the 1.12 patch and now everytime i try to run bf2 the screen goes to load flickers holds a black screen for about 10 seconds then drops straight back to windows.

I did however encounter an error while the patch was trying to install. The message that came up was simply "patch failed". After referring to ea it seems like the problem was due to "error ept0038" which aparently means that there was an error deleteing the file. refer http://www.bccsoftware.com/support/t...atcherrors.asp. I dont think this caused the issue though.

What is going on i am doing my head in!!!!! Does anyone know why BF2 refuses to load now??

Specs are
p4 2.4
1 gig ram
nvida geforce fx 5500 256mb (i know may be slightly under-rated but was working to start with)


Any consructive feeback would be appreciated cheers

Tried that three times, only crashes when the 1.12 patch is installed. Have now changed vid card to geforce 6200 as i felt that may have been the problem. Same
issues when patch is loaded on flickers a bit then stright back to windows. Havn't tried the earlier patches as of yet bout to do so now. Just so annoying as there is only one ranked server to play on with the basic bf2 install and usually takes forever to get on as the server is always full. Im gettin closer and closer to hugging myself all day long!
