Startup Crash

I can launch PR, it does the little cinematic in the beginning, and then it black screens and all I can see is a spinning PR DogTag as my cursor for about 10 seconds before it closes. I have no idea why it's doing this and it's really annoying. Everything I've tried just doesn't work.

Probably incorrect video config settings,
try this:

Let's try another approach:
  1. 1. Write down your BF2 login name and password
  2. 2. Rename the directory C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\My Documents\ProjectReality\Profiles to C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\My Documents\ProjectReality\ProfilesBackUp
  3. 3. Start PRLauncher. The profile importer function will start, do NOT import your profile from vBF2, instead use the retrieve profile from GameSpy option, and enter login name and password when prompted.
  4. 4. In PRLauncher, Click Options button,

    In the VIDEO TAB
    Choose the smallest resolution with the correct refresh rate for your monitor.
    Untick the Fullscreen tickbox.
    Turn Off the AntiAlias
    Disable VSync
    Set View Distance to 75%
    CLICK APPLY.
    In the GRAPHICS TAB
    Set all settings to LOW.
    CLICK APPLY.
    CLICK CLOSE.
  5. 5. CLICK PLAY. Test PR.

If that works, you can then go back to the PRLauncher Video Tab and GRaphics Tab and set your options to whatever works for your system.

If you go to PRLauncher->SUpport->Copy to Clipboard,->paste here, we'll get your system specs and we'll be able to give you a pretty good idea of what Video and Graphics options are optimal for your PC.
