    There are several things that you could try:

    1. Run the BFME2 patch switcher (1.06/1.07/1.08), try switching patches and see if you can get the game to run.
    2. Make sure your graphics card driver is up to date. I've diagnosed several issues where people couldn't get their BFME game to run because of their GPU drivers. Intel onboard graphics tend to be pretty incompatible with such old games, so if your laptop uses a dual GPU hybrid setup, either completely disable the intel GPU and use your AMD or NVIDIA card, or fully update your AMD/NVIDIA driver and use the panel settings to make sure that the game uses your secondary AMD/NVIDIA GPU and not the intel one. Some laptops allow you to fully disable the Intel onboard GPU in BIOS. If you're only on Intel onboard graphics, then update its driver and see if it works. If not, keep downgrading the driver version until you find one which works (google on how to properly uninstall and install GPU drivers). If that still doesn't work, then I'm afraid you need a new GPU or PC as one member who had a similar case. 
    3. This won't work, but play with compatibility and administrator settings of the game executable and see what happens.

    I created an account just to help you guys. Like everybody here I tried everything mentioned in this discussion. And right as I was going to give up I right clicked on the shortcut to start the game and instead of hitting "run as administrator" I clicked "run with graphics processor" and it worked!!!! I have an Nvidia Geforce GTX 765M. I'm not sure if this will work for everyone but it worked for me. Good luck.
