So i just installed PR for BF2, and every time i start the game , i get a black screen and a "not responding" prompt. I've read online that i have to play BF2 at least once , which i did ( only SP , as MP doesn't allow me to make an account) .
Any ideas?

What's your installation method?
Installed the game from an ISO , patched to 1.4 then 1.5 , then installed PR from the ISO on the website
That sounds ok to me.
Try digging through the PR Support forum or creating a new post.

Managed to fix it after 2 reinstalls and forcing compatibility with vista of all things. That being said, anyone wanna play with a newbie?
Just hop on any populated server and you can find a squad to join. Just make sure you let them know that you are new and they should help you out.
I say should because assholes are still assholes.
I tried that , and stumbled on 3 squads speaking russian , a couple of dead-silent ones and one where everyone kept screaming allahu akbar.
Try again later in the day and it should be better. Most guys that play are at work/school during the day and aren't on until later
its possible the refresh rate is set wrong - you'll need to go into the video.con settings files which I recall is in is in my documents and manually set the resolution, as detailed here: http://www.tweakguides.com/BF2_7.html
My monitor uses 60Hz , and i've set the resolution as 800x600@60Hz in both the cfg files and in the launcher.
