Battlefield 2 crash to desktop when connecting to server.

Hi,

I bought BF2 again after missing it for so long. But every time I connect to a server, either through the built in piece of shit gheyspy browser or through Qtracker, it crashes to desktop. No errors, nothing. Just the black screen for a brief second and at the desktop like nothing happened. I can play single player fine. I remember there being an issue with the resfresh rate back in the day and I guess that issue hasn't been fixed by the subhumans at EA so can anyone help me with this?
I made sure punkbuster was updated. I made sure I am running this with administrator account. I unplugged router and turned off windows firewall. Here are my specs and all my drivers are up to date:
Windows XP 64-bit edition SP2
Intel Duo Core2 6750 cpu
4 gigs DDR800
EVGA 8800GT 512meg

Any help will be apprecited.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
