The launcher tries to launch the game, it flickers black and dark grey 5 times then crashes to desktop.

I have tried
-run as administrator
-run in compatability for windows xp service pack 2 or 3
-deleting profile from my documents, or deleting entire bf2142 folder there.
-setting preferences for +widescreen 1, +widescreen 0, trying windowed mode, szx/szy in 640 x 480. Pretty much everything in the common suggestions for this problem.

I have
-windows 7
-bf2142 v1.5 true legal copy.
-bf2142 works. with mod installed, original game still works.
-nvidia graphics card, computer is powerful. i7.

I would say I have the right setup and I should be fine, but its crashing. Does the szx and szy have to be some specific number? My screen doesn't look widescreen.

much help appretiated.

EDIT: When I delete the bf2142 folder, after attempting to launch the mod, the folder is created in "My Documents" again. I also found a folder in "Documents" that looks the same. Should I delete that one too?

Here is where I get my updates from:

http://battlefield2.filefront.com

I have v1.50. v1.51 was not listed on the site. I have the most recent version of First Strike on that site (First Strike_v1.5.exe). Once the launcher installed, it updated First Strike again.

I'm downloading v1.51 now. I'll get the native resolution and put it in once v1.50 has been patched to v1.51.

"Does it crash if you go via 2142/community/mods?" I'm unsure of what your asking here.

Thankyou for your help Twigs! I'll edit this post below with my results when done. Cross fingers... big money, big money..

Pending....Done

The problem was v1.50. I'm in the game! I didn't need to add in +szx, +szy for my computer. My native resolution is 1280 x 1024.
