    Battlefield 2, Online problems with Vista...

    Hi, got a new Vostro Laptop with Vista and thought I would load some old games to play. Put on Battlefield 2, with the patch v.1.41 and some map pack, but still whenever i join a game it loads up and then punkbuster kicks me for "Inadequate O/S privaleges". This never used to happen with Xp, so I assume it's Vista. I am the only User of the Laptop so i assume I am administrator...Is there anything I can do?Thanks. John

    This is a common problem. Do the following:

    Right click on the icon and select “Properties”. Select the “Compatibility” tab and check the “Run this program as an administrator” check box. Click the icon as normal to load the game.

    Sorted
