try these:

Hiya,
Go to MyDocuments\ProjectReality

Rename the \Profiles directory to \ProfilesBackup

GO to D:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\
Run PRBF2.exe once.

PR will sorta start, you'll get to main screeen and it will say "You must use launcher". Close PR.

Run PRLauncher.exe , go to options->Pick your online profile from top menu->Video Tab-> check that your resolution and other options are set correctly. Change if needed. Click Apply.

Go back to main PRlauncher window, click Play.

Here are the other three ways to do this,

moving the video.con file from Profiles\0001 to Profiles\Default is the most usual solution in my experience:

Your video.con file for your new profile was corrupted/deleted/etc.

Three ways to fix this:

Option 1:
GO to Documents\ProjectReality.old\Profiles\0001 and copy your VIDEO.CON file.
Go to Documents\ProjectReality\Profiles\0001 and paste the VIDEO.CON file.

Start PR and test.

Option 2:
Start PRlauncher,
Click Options
In the top white box, select your new profile
Select the Video Tab,

Change your display resolution , graphics quality and Anti-aliasing to suit your system,

CLICK APPLY.

test PR.

Option 3:
If that fails,
try this:
Start PRlauncher,
Click Options
In the top white box, select your new profile
Click the RESET ALL PROFILES button on bottom left.
CLICK APPLY.
test PR.
