Well, since i upgraded from vista to windows 7 (did a custom format install though) my game has been running like ****... what would happen is when i join a server and i finishes loading, then i click squad asignment... it would flicker a blank screen twice( sometimes showing the desktop...) 50% of the time this would result in me having to reconnect because i would get a punkbusterb handshake error.... then when i did get connected with Anti-Alias on the ground would be transparent or texture buffering errors (also, very laggy)...
the fix:
right click your PR shortcut and click properties
then the compatibility tab
then check "Disable Visual Themes & also Disable Desktop Composition... make sure you have it as 'Run this program as an adminitrator aswell..'
(also, make sure it is not running in compatibilty mode.)

Re: Flicker/lag issue fix
if you notice after connecting to a server and it flickers, tab out... your taskbar will be plain (no windows glass effect) that is what Disable Visual Themes & Disable Desktop Composition are, which causes lag... i had my desktop image changing every 30mins, when that happened my game would skip for a few seconds and never felt the same again...
