Complete Reinstall, And do it manually, just Search Manual BF2 Uninstall on google, wipe every trace of BF2 off your computer, Reboot, then Reinstall, Thats what I did when I had that problem.

Their is always an error if the program stops unexpectedly.
Try the following:

-Start menu

-Control panel

-Administrative tools

-Event viewer

-Application

Look back at the last date you tried playing and look for any Red "X"'s. if you find any then post the details of them here.

Don’t re-install everything till you troubleshoot.....

It's a corrupt install, no telling why but it does it every once in a while as you install.

Do like smartboy said and uninstall BF2, patch, and PR. Then restart. Then install BF2, patch 1.41, PR core, PR levels, in that order. If you use the .850 patch on the older version of PR, install it last. But this has to be done in order.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Each install you do, make sure you right click the installer and "run as admin" with Vista.

Also... Make sure you download PB HERE and run updater after you finish installing. Then no matter what graphic card you have, set textures to medium before you start any map.
