It's been working for ages for me, and a fair few other people. Post up the errors you are getting (i presume you were getting kicked form PB).

You need RC not beta, and a fully updated and configured installation with appropriate administrator privs.

Played for an hour and no issues at all apart from my graphics lag even when its on low but that was an issue before 7.

Another small windows 7 tip.

When patching BF2 to 1.41 some Security software the patch program will report a "Patching Failed" status part way through the 1.41 patching process.
If you get this error simply disable the sec. software temporarily and restart the patch.
