Ok everything was fine when I had a Gforce 4-ti4600 card, but I just recently got a ATI 9800 Pro (XT core).

Well anyway, now when I go into BFV, after like 10 seconds it jumps right to the "Instant Battle" menu. So I can't get into a game or even change my settings with that menu constantly coming up.

Since SP2 for WinXP came out, I wanted to reformat and reinstall everything. So now my system is back up and running, but BFV is STILL doing the same thing.

I haven't heard of anyone else having that problem, and I am definately NOT a novice at computers.

It has me stumped.

I am using the Cat 4.8 beta drivers. I had a different problem in Spiderman 2 locking up shortly after playing the game.

I am really starting to regret buying an ATI card. It was definately against my better judgement, but insead of just buying a newer Nvidia card I figured I'd try out ATI. BIG mistake. Never had problems in the many years I've owned Nvidia cards.

Any Clues?
