open BF2 vanilla and log in. Then close BF2 and try PR. That should do the trick(on Win7 at least)

You tried closing all programs like Xfire/Steam and disabled the Mumble Overlay? I have the impression that overlays of any kinds are causing trouble in Win8.

If I try to play vanille bf2 and I try to find my account it puts my back to my desktop.
I closed Steam and Origin and I used the disk version.
And I got the disk in my pc when I start the game.

edit: CTD in vanilla BF2 logging in? mmmm, strange

Before this I had AIX installed and had the same problem. I delete bf2 and did a fresh install and installed PR.

Edit: I installed the beta driver for my GPU and it started up! But I tryed to find my accoutn and it puts my back on my desktop..

Edit2: The game works when I play solo.

Install v1.41 then v1.5. Delete your shader cache. If using a Radeon card turn your CCC texture filtering setting to quality or lower, not high quality. Disable Mumble overlay. Run PR and Battlefield 2 as an administrator and in compatibility mode for XP.

Worked for me.
