Hi Im kinda new to this forum so I dont know if this is the right place to push this thread.

Anyway. I cant get my PR working on windows 7. It just gives me a black screen and then takes me back to the desktop. I have changed the comp mode to windows xp SP2 and SP3. Also running it as a admin and nothing is working :( Anyone got a clue why?

  • Install the game into desktop instead of installing it into program files?
  • Are you sure that the game itself is not corrupted?
  • Is the DVD good? Have you tried downloading No-DVD cracks? (shouldn't be even illegal if you own the real copy of BF2)
  • .. Download a clean BF2 from teh_internets and install it with your CD-key.

Yea but I red somewhere that BF2 has a problem to start with Windows 7. It was made for XP I think... I had this problem with Command and Cunquer Generals as well

Did you install it in another directory? That helped for me when I used Windows 7. The game wasn't BF2 but GTA San Andreas :D

Sounds like your screen resolution doesn't match PR resolution to me.
Post specs from launcher support tab here.

Ehm Im not sure what you mean with Specs from lauincher support tab. Its the same with BF2 guys :/ Perhaps its the problem with BF2 that prevent me from starting PR?
