Hurray for run-on sentences.

It would help if you gave us the warning you are getting, so we can try and understand what your problem is.

Are you getting the "you must use PR.exe, because of custom shaders BLAH BLAH BLAH?"

Deadfast made a fix for that, I have vista on the comp I'm using atm and it worked for me.

Next time give more info, a screenie or a quote would be great- the system ur using wouldn't kill us either.

I am so lost!! I keep getting the box that says bf2 exe does not exist. How can it not exist?

Your shortcut's wrong.

Right-click on it, Properties.

Take a look on the 'Start in' line.

It should say "*some_path*\Battlefield 2\"

Obviously replace *some_path* with whatever you have before the Battlefield 2 folder.

I’m trying to read what you´re point is wood, but I can´t get it!? What´s wrong or what is right? You’re telling Deadfast that he is wrong and that you fixed it another way, but now you get kicked all the time!!! See any connection?

Try to explain a bit better what you mean....try to read what you are writing yourself and you might get that it is not simple to get what you mean.

I'm having the same problem (shaders warning) I'm running Vista. I checked my shortcut's start in line and it says "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2" which matches up to where I've got BF2 installed. Any ideas?
