BF 2142 - Crash to desktop on "Join Server"

[icer22x]

Hey guys,

I've been playing Battlefield 2142 for a while now with no client side issues... I haven't changed a darn thing on my system either.

I can log into the EA Master Server perfectly fine, visit BFHQ, etc... But when I go to Multiplayer, choose a game and click "Join Server" - My game crashes to desktop.

Things that I have tried include:
- Uninstalled/Reinstalled
- Updated PunkBuster
- Checked my audio/video drivers - all up-to-date
- Patched the game with v1.5 (latest update)
- Closed all unnecessary background processes

I don't understand why this is happening. It was running fine literally two days ago. I've included my dxdiag and my specs are:

CASE: Antec P180B
PSU: ePOWER 550W ATX12V
CPU: Intel e6600 2.4GHz
CPU Cooling: Zalman CNPS9500AT Socket LGA775 CPU Cooler
MB: EVGA NVIDIA nForce 680i LT SLI ATX
RAM: 2 GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800MHz
GC: XFX GeForce 9800GTX
HDD: 320GB Western Digital
Sound: Onboard 7.1 Realtek HD Audio
SPKR: Logitech 5.1
OS: Windows XP Professional SP3
