At least you got it to run. I get a black screen and then it crashes
back to desktop.

Did you use the included Nvidia drivers?

I've got the same setup as you, but 1 gig instead of 1.5.
And i'm running on 1280x960, with high detail (no AA)
and it runs ok.
But only with included drivers, they seem to work the best...
They are located in your game dir: \Battlefield 2 Demo\nvidia_driver.

Does your video card support Shaders 1.4 or later ?

If not, time for a visit to your friendly computer hardware store.

If it does, you may need to update ALL your drivers, and/or clean
up your system.

Please read the demo README very thoroughly. It is full
of useful information that may be relevant to your problem.
