Not sure if there is a specific section for this to go so ill put it here. My friend is trying to run BF2142 but when he starts it up it instantly stops responding and crashes. Doesn't crash back to desktop it just says EXE has stopped responding and we have no idea how to fix it. He is using 7 32 bit. It works on my 32 bit system of win 7 but on his its not :/
