PR.exe shortcut in xp doesnt work anymore.

I cant start the new version of Project reality.

When I try to start from desktop I get a weird window up where it says:
Choose account something, with two possibilites with one " Run as administrator".
Never happened before with PR.

When I install the third part of PR it doesnt exit, SO I have to exit it with "Windows task manager", And I think this where to problem is.

Things allready tried.
1. Tried to run the PR_XP.exe something in the modfolders aswell.
(That one didnt work at all) l

2. Part 3 I?ve downloaded from Moddatabase and some other place I dont remember.
But the file itself is called this:
2010_10_13_pr_0957_full_part3of3_setup.exe"
File size: 1160 083 KB ( The last one I tried with was this big, dont rembember others)

2.I allways make a new install for PR, and erase the previous
one. Know I?ve re-installed PR 0.95 three times.

3.I?ve also checked this thread in the forum and that didnt help me:
"Q: After logging into PR, I get an error message You must use "pr.exe" to run
Project Reality. Please update your shortcuts as required."

4. Tried to run with as mod from BF2 evn if I know that doesnt work either
5. Also the one with questions about PR.exe about version 0.85

6.I haven?t changed a thing o my system, and it worked smooth with the 0.91.
So my question is also what has changed in PR that does that I cant start it with 0.95?


-----My system:--------------------------------------------
My system:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @2.20Ghz
L2 cache: 2048 KB
Memory: 2944MB (37% used)
Mainboard: ASUSTeK Computer INC.P5L-MX
Monitor Default monitor Benq 60mhz
Graphiccard: NVIDIA Geforce 8800 GT
Mode: 1680x1050 with 32bit

I also run with a Cinteq21 sometimes, but that one I?ve
disconnect in Nvidia settings when I play PR...

So for the sake good fellowship among our great teamworking squad, please help this soldier who wants to get back in action again and try those awesome mortars and bridges.

Thanks
Your teamworking friend

Not being able to finish an installer is definitly a problem.
It is adviced to download large files like this using a Download Manager (i.e. FDM or GetRight) or even Torrent - they will check the file integrity and make sure the download is not corrupted (I prefere Torrents).

I am convinced that untill your installation finishes successfully trouble shooting other things is useless.

I suggest to verify your installers using this.
