sounds like a driver issue to me... rare to see such things on Forceware though...
tried the BF2 forum and see if others are having the same problem?
Yes, it's a driver issue. Other people have posted on the
Nvidia forums about it. But luckily I can still play the game, as long as I don't turn up the highest shaders settings.
As for the BF:BC2 Punkbuster thing, it's a known issue for people who use Nvidia Optimus laptops. It's only until the 266+ drivers were released that I finally managed to play multiplayer on ranked servers.
Edit: Oh my god, this
forum post in the Nvidia forum sums up my frustrations completely:

266.58 gave me all sorts of issues with Valve games in general. Graphical anomalies, texturing problems, among other things. It is not simply an issue of using a driver sweeper and reinstalling, the drivers seem to change something that was fine in 260.99
as nvidia has forced us to do, you basically have to make a choice... Revert to 260.99 and play your Steam games well, but forego playing online in punkbuster games, or stick with 266.58 and wallow in the big pile of Valve failure that these drivers creates.
Sorry that it's like this, but this is my experience between trying these two drivers. Like I said, this is how the drivers behave whether or not they are installed cleanly or not.
Quite frankly Nvidia should be ashamed of how their Optimus experience has been. It's obvious that none of them have actually *USED* their own optimus system because if they did, they'd have no doubt run into the many many problems that makes optimus terrible for gaming. But whatever, as long as nvidia refuses to even admit there is a problem that means there is no problem right? of course.
