(badly at first via MD5tool mismatch errors, but I fixed that as well-check the MD5tool threads for that fix).

Try this if you can't run PR from the shortcut-

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and my start in line is perfect

but my target line is even worse it says:"C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe" +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 1

and when i try to change it to what it says on the first page it comes up with an error box saying: The name'"C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\pr\pr.exe +parameters' specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.

why?

Aren't you missing a quote (") before the parameters?

[hellbounde]

am i?

Well, if what you've posted above is exactly what you're trying to put there then yes.

But there's no point changing the Target with your installation as everything seems to be OK.

Why are you even changing it? What kind of error made you do it?

what are these "special" shader effects you guys added ?

The suppression (blurry screen when shot at).

Yes, when you specified the C:\*SOMETHING*\Battlefield 2\ for the Start In, what exactly do you put in place of *SOMETHING*? I've tried making my own folders and putting the folder names in place of *SOMETHING* but yet it says my folders do not exist even though I've made them.
