Hello guys many of you have this problem so i found a fix for it.
How to Steps:
1.Go to this website par.nofate.me .
2.Press "Select file" and search for your "BF1942.par" Default Location is in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1942" and hit submit.
3.A download will apear for the new "BF1942.par" accept and copy the file to your game directory and it should fix it.
4.Launch the game and Enjoy.
I really wish EA would spend a few hours and do a fix for Battlefield 1942 for Windows 8 and wide screen. there are still thousands of loyal 1942 players that are left in the cold because they have new computers and cant plant 1942.
I have tried the 100 workarounds that people have suggested online without any luck and it is very frusturating. Please EA dedicate a small team to get this patched for the Origin Battlefield 1942 game!
I finally found how to fi it, you juste need to click on this link http://forum.bf1942.sk/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1813, open it with winrar, take the BF1942.exe file and copy it in your battlefield 1942 file, replace it and it should work just fine.
