Can anybody tell me how to set it to run at 1280x800? Any help would be great, thanks.

Right click the BF2 icon
Go to proporties
change the target to this.
"X:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1280 +szy 800

Mind the drive letter.

It will still say the last resolution you choose in the menu but it will run at 1280x800 in game.

does it let you run 1680x1050?
if so 1280x800 *MIGHT* not be in the original inf file.
I've you've got an NV card its easy to add resolutions with the control panel. With ATI I have no idea how to do such a thing.

No problem at all check out The Wide Screen Gaming Forum for other games that you have issues with WS resolutions + FOV.
