This message is a monitor error message so it's not a video card problem. Add these arguments your BF2 link/shortcut:

+szx 1280 +szy 1024

That will set the monitor in 1280x1024 mode when BF2 starts up. The resolution option in the BF2 video options will have no effect and is not reliable with these arguments added.

If you already did that, then make sure it's running at 60 Hz. Go in dxdiag (start menu run), go to the More Info tab, use the force refresh rate feature to force frequency to 60 Hz.

Turn off any refresh overrides for 1024x 768 and try again. BF2 is one of those games with the retarded refresh rate detection scheme (quite what developers hope to accomplish with such an idiotic scheme other than royally piss off their customers I'll never know...)
