I have the same problem, allready reinstalled BF2 and PR, but it still doesn't work. When I reinstalled BF2 I tryed to play and it worked. But after I installed PR, BF2 had the same problem.( it begins to start, blackscreen and quits the application). And it doesn't allow me to install the 1.5 patch( before or after I installed PR). It shows me the message" you allready use a newer version" or something like that.

Someone's help is much appreciated, because I spended like 4 hours trying to solve this problem and right now it really pisses me off.

run the installers as administrator - install 1.41 bf2 patch first (1.5 is only incremental)

you will have to redownload the file
but instead of completely redownloading you can use a download manager (like FDM, GetRight, FlashGet) or a bittorent client (like µTorrent) to resume the file

this increases your chance of not having to download the whole thing again but rather only the corrupted parts

also very important is when not using an above mentioned tool is to use the "Save as" method for large files - as it is likely that you might have to use it again for a reinstall (if you selected "Run" on the download dialog it is hard to retrieve that file, you will have to look inside the temporary internet files folder - however the files name will be cryptic instead of the real name
