PR won't start

[Delasangre4231]

I install BF2 then install PR. I install BF2 as admin and run each PR setup as admin, and then when the PR banner show up right after clicking the shortcut it either disappears after 30 seconds and nothing happens or it says it has stopped responding. Please help?

Now I get to a black screen and then it minimizes and shows this Error "StaticMesh.fx(2): error X1507: failed to open source file: 'mods/xpack/shaders/datatypes.fx'"

Yo,

I have the same problem too. I'm not sure about the error code that you are talking about but the loadup sequence is EXACTLY what happens to me. It seems that there is another post that someone has solved for this problem because it seems that the community members just down't want to answer this problem on some other posts. I suggest to keep looking at the other posts with the prefix as Windows 7. Good luck.

There are multiple threads regarding "datatypes.fx", use that as a search term. I also like to use google rather then the forum search, then it would look like this: Google or this Google
