Installing PR
I am having huge problems Installing PR.
I have downloaded the .exe's multiple times from multiple different websites and always end up with the same problem.
I get the .exe, I double click it, nothing happens. If I CTRL-ALT-DEL to the Task Manager I can see PR_Core.exe(or something like that) is running in the background but still nothing happens. This will go on for hours if I don't endprocess the .exe. I have been able to run multiple other .exe's it is just the PR one that doesn't work.
......I'm running Windows Vista.
Anyone heard of this / have any ideas?

I quit. PR is a great time, worked awesome on my Dad's computer when I was back home, but Windows Vista loves to watch me suffer and I'm sick of the crap.
The game won't work:
Windowed
Compatability SP2
As Administrator
Disabled Visual Themes
All Background Programs Closed
Running a Single Core
All Graphics set at Medium
While I'm praying.
I'm out of ideas.

Yeah I dug through those links for a while. The second one only applies to EA Downloader users, I'm running an Orig CD Copy. The only thing I am not getting that maybe is new is Running PR.exe . The shortcut that the Installer installed points to BF2.exe and has modifiers on it that enable PR on boot. So when I double click it it opens PR, NOT BF2, but is there some other exe I'm supposed to have? I searched my computer and the PR Mod folder but there is no pr.exe they are talking about in the forums. Do I download it separately? I can't seem to find that particular answer anywhere.
Tried running on LOW for everything with no success, cant disable VOIP because it crashes when I click AUDIO in the options for some reason.

My shortcut points exact same as yours, the game starts fine crashes when I hit deploy or AUDIO in options. So I guess that is correct (the people in the forums are all talking about pr.exe but I think they are talking about an old version of PR, making the tutorials kinda outdated).
System Specs
Windows Vista Ultimate 32-Bit
AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 Processor

NVidia Geforce 8800 GTX
OnBoard Sound and Creative Sound-Blaster(dont know exact model. I use the SoundBlaster for Digital 5.1 Output and the Onboard for Ventrillo/Teamspeak)

You'd better disable onboard Audio complete and only use SB. Prolly there's something like an adress conflict - try (or the other way around). Also en- or disable EAX in Audiosettings of PR.
Soundblaster Cards do have a CT number printed somewhere on the PCB (the card itself - mostly on the front upper border) with that you can check what model you've got if you're to lazy to search for original package
I hope i get my new system fixed tommorrow with Win7Beta 64Bit and that i get BF2 and PR to run with it...
Btw. You're right: outdated posts talking bout PR.exe
