woow didnt know that nobody knows the anwser of this problem

Have you set your textures to medium?
I'm not sure why this makes a difference with high-end cards that can run games like Crysis
on high quality settings with no problem at the same res,
but for some reason it can matter in Project Reality.

If that doesn't help or fix your issue,
you can try increasing your virtual memory.
Select the minimum and maximum size the same. A preferable size is about 1.5 times the RAM you have.

Good luck
Are you using the downloaded version of BF2? IF yes check out:

How to increase my memory then i am not so good with computers???
but 3 GB ram is good for this game ??

Pr.exe stopped worked

That is a little odd ... as the pr.exe should not give a message like that once BF2 is running (unless BF2 crashing causes the process thread that pr.exe is running to crash ... that is possible actually). The crash to desktop is most likely a memory issue as Palerider points out. Are you on Vista 32 or Vista 64 ?

3GB of ram is good for the game yes , but if you are on a 32 bit system you may not be accessing all that 3GB. However the 1.5 version of BF2 was supposed to sort all that out I thought ?

yeah! i have the 32 bit system u know whats the problem

Check out the red sticky:
Help Guide for Lag / Stuttering caused by memory
for a step by step guide for increasing your virtual memory.
It's for XP, but the same for Vista.

If that doesn't help you may need to lower some more settings.
Check out the BF2 tweak guides for more.

Hope is helps

hey that guide i dont understand what is for vista cause i see only XP???

"It's for XP, but the same for Vista."
IE:
The steps to adjust your virtual memory are the same for Vista as they are for XP.

Be sure to check out the system guides as well.

Good luck

my buddy has the exact same issue, CTD then game gives pr.exe has stopped working message. I've tried diagnosing it for a while but have come up short... let me know if you find a solution.

he's running 2.6ghz quad core, vista64, gts210 512mb, 6g ram.

also, if you remember your install order can you plz post it? exact order including restarts? i suspect it might be a simple install order issue... that can cause problems right?

my virtual memory now is 3114 MB what need i number do i need to put in there???

And btw On battlefield 2 i got no lag no problems playing it high soo i think its the virtual memory.

Well there are different schools of thought on it , and it depends on what you are doing and how much actual physical RAM you have. Personally I always set my Virtual Drive to a fixed size .... 1.5 or 2 times the amount of RAM I have. But this was a philosophy developed for audio and video applications (with lots of disk writes) ... it may be different for games (I have heard that letting windows manage it is preferable for games ... but if you do this make sure that your hard drive has plenty of space and its defragged regularly).
