Run BF2 as an administrator.
You can make BF2 run with elevated privileges automatically by changing
program compatibility settings. Right-click the startup icon for BF2, or
the BF2.exe, and choose Properties. In the Properties dialog box, click
the Compatibility tab. Then under Privilege Level, select Run this
program as an administrator and click OK. If the option to run the
program as an administrator is disabled, then either the program doesn’t
require administrative privileges to run, you are not logged in to an
administrative account, or the program is blocked from always running
elevated.

Add the Built-in Administrator Account to the Login Screen

The built-in Administrator account is intentionally hidden to keep out
users who don’t have sufficient knowledge to understand the risks
involved in using such an account. Typically the only way to get to it is
by starting the computer in Safe Mode. If you’re an advanced user, and
want to be able to get to that account from the login page, you just have
to enable the account. Here’s how:

1. Log in to an account that has administrative privileges.

2. Click the Start button, right-click Computer, and choose Manage.

3. In the left column of the Computer Management tool that opens, click
Local Users and Groups.

4. In the center column, double-click the Users folder.

5. Right-click the Administrator account and choose Properties.

6. Clear the checkmark next to Account is disabled and click OK.

7. Close the Computer Management window. When you log out of your current
account, you’ll see the Administrator account on the login page. It will
also appear there each time you start the computer.
