Maarit,
You and your friend should review the
Project Reality v0.87 Installation Guide

Usually it's something simple you over-looked.

Good luck

Some points to be looked at:
- BF2 needs to be patched to 1.41 before applying 1.5 patch.

- You said he installed PR core, levels and patch, but which versions? PR 0.874 Patch is not needed if core and levels were 0.874 full versions.

- When moving stuff from a computer to an another, always use installers, never just copy files that belong to programs.

- You may need to clean up registry a bit to get this fixed up, especially if the Vista in question is 64-bit, as it stores 32-bit program's setting to an uncommon location.

There are four types of downloads on that page:

1. Client (patch)
- Like the page says, this requires the latest BF2 and previous working version of PR as the starting point. No other files are needed.

2. Client (core)
- Requires the latest BF2 as the starting point and Client (levels) to complete the installation.

3. Client (levels)
- Requires the latest BF2 and Client (core) as the starting point.

4. Server (full)
- Needed only by dedicated server admins.

So a regular mortal needs either:
A) Client (patch)
OR
B) Client (core)+Client (levels)
but not both A+B.

If you are still unsure, install Client (core) and Client (levels) but nothing else. You can't go wrong with those.
