try to launch battlefield 2 first.

maybe its this problem...

"You need to launch Battlefield 2, and create or retrieve a profile at least once before you can open Project Reality. Project Reality needs a profile in order to do some stuff and open properly.

So basically, open Battlefield 2, create or retrieve a profile, quit, then launch PR from the desktop shortcut"

that was quote from developer of PR

I had the same problem a long time ago.
This is what I did:

1. Right click the PR0.957 Icon
2. Go to properties
3. Then in the target after the pr.exe" leave a space and type in this
+menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +szx 1920 +szy 1080

BUT change the numbers in red(my resolution) to your resolution.

Then click apply and re-try.

Edit: oh sorry I didnt see the error that you sent. Looking at the error it looks like its your profile thats not letting you load up.
Do what maarit said above and that might work, if not still try what i said.

I am experiencing the same problem, started BF2, retrieved my profile, quit, then started PR. Same problem.

EDIT: It seems that there is a Public Documents BF2 Profile created too. Maybe that is the cause of the problem?
Either way, still cant be solved.

This one worked at least for me, cheers! None of the other suggestions helped, but this one fixed the problem. So if you have tried all the other fixes with no success, try this.
