BF 1942 Black Screen Erro Windows 10 x64

I have three notebooks and all have enough capacity to run the BF 1942 but the most powerful notebook is in trouble when trying to play, when the game is good to carry loading the game it is paralyzed in a black screen, the only way to close is opening a New desktop through the Windows + TAB key, and closing the game by the Task Manager. However I found a partial solution, I noticed that when I delete and create a new profile the game loads normally without any problem. What I can do to solve this problem, the two other notebooks that the game still works it used previously Windows 7 and were logged into Windows 10, and that way the game still work without problem, already this nobeook I'm trying to play , A clean install of the game was done directly in Windows 10. Anyway what I should do I am really wanting to play BF1942 on the notebook that I am actively using, sorry for my bad English.

Finally what should I do? I'm really wanting to play BF1942 on the notebook that I'm actively using.

The game was installed plus the two expansions and in addition they were installed two versions modified by Fans, they are Desert Combat and Forgotten Hope.

After the complete installation of the game and the expansions has been installed the following Patches:

battlefield_1942_patch_v1.6.19
bf1942_patch_v1.6_to_v1.61b
battlefield_1942_gamespy_patch_v1.61
TanksPBupdate

Below I leave a small video that I did to demonstrate in practice what happens.

Sorry for my bad English...

    First I need to know what are you using to run battlefield 1942 is it a laptop ?

    So are you using an original installation on CD-ROM or downloaded game if so which version ?


    did you fully patch up bf1942 ?
    see links from this forum from ea117 this is not a official Electronic Arts download server but its a community managed mod server for desert combat.

    However they provide links for official patch up packs.

    now download patch 1.6 and 1.61b then install finally update battlefield 1942 to use the new Master server and to be completely independent from the CD-ROM drive since Windows 7 8 10 11 no longer supports safedisc drm.

    please see my master server patch video.

    Patch link.

    This is required to get battlefield 1942 to run on Windows 10 or 11.
    Finally if you still can't get bf1942 to run does your laptop or monitor support 800 by 600 resolution ?

    if not I suggest joining the fhsw discord server hopefully they can find a workaround to get the game to work.
