your sure he installed vista sp1? That worked for me. Tell him to try updating all his video and sound drivers. And make sure he's always running pr as an administrator.

How much RAM does he has?

1st up, why on earth did you make 2 posts about the same thing. It makes me not even want to offer help.
2nd, why did you jump to the conclusion it was Vista that was the problem. It sound like if all the other games are working, than it is PR that is the problem, not Vista.
3rd, you beg for help but offer no details as to what parts he actually has in his system, so we pretty much can offer you no help, having nothing to work from
4th, has he tried going to the shortcut properties and clicking compatibility mode for XP SP2.
I do it for both the PR exe and the BF2 exe, just to make sure. Do the same thing for Admin

Until you get back to us with some better info, I suggest you download PR again.
And try using a different browser if he used Internet Explorer before. It can have some problems with downloading large files.
