i have installed everything fine MP core, levels and single player core and map pack 1.

When i click the desktop shortcut, it goes black just like it normally would before showing the logos like EA GAMES and stuff but then it just crashes to my desktop. No logos nothing it just goes black then CTD. This is really frustrating help!

If it helps i have Vista 32 bit

Plz help this is so annoying and i really want to play this

Are you trying to boot off of the BF2.exe or the PR.exe? because the BF2.exe no longer works if you instal PR. So trying to play off of the BF2.exe would not work.

(The PR.exe would have two dog tags as symbols)

well thats the minimum for PR but u shud b sweet. As said above u shud make sure u are launching from Desktop off the PR.exe not the bf2.exe Also it helps to shut down all external processes that arent crucial. Try all that and c if it will run
