i had this. if i can remember it was something to do with my sound.
try updating the sound drivers. also wasnt there something to do with older instalments of the game?

Can you tell us more, When does it crash do you get a black or white screen?
Is a crash to desktop?
Is win7 64 or 32bit?
What gfx card is in his PC?
What cpu is in PC ?
Is the game from steam or DVD?

Update drivers, and DX.
Try to force game to run in DX9.
Try to set sound to 44KHZ 16 bit if duel core CPU.
Try deleting the my documents bfbc2 folder? it has helps some with ctd's. I don't think it still holds the video cache files like in BF2, but it still has worked for some. All it costs you is having to redo your settings and key binds, so not much risk is trying.

Agree with LA. Could be DirectX 10 and limitations of your videocard?

Eliminate possible causes; first update all hardware drivers (video, sound, directX); uncheck/turn options down in BF2 (first DX10->9) and start with turning them on and see when it occurs.

I'm running Win7 64, no problems.

thx for the replies, could be a DX issue as its an older 8800 card. If he can struggle out of the arms of his current girlfriend he might get round to sorting this

(hope he doesnt read or i'm in BIIIGGGGGG trouble

)
