Let's say BF1942 is not really hungry when it comes to hardware.
Please download and install the latest version of Origin at www.origin.com/download and run Origin.exe as administrator. Get sure that Origin.exe is added to the exception list of your antivirus/firewall software.
Open your Origin client, go to "My Games" -> rightclick "BF1942" -> choose "Repair Install". Additionally, re-install BF1942 via Origin.

Hi Basti,
Yup tried your recommended steps however no luck. The result is still the same.
I hit the Play button and a dialog pops up saying 'Launching BF1942' then it closes and nothing more happens.
thanks

I've tried the same thing, and the same thing happens.

I don't know why I spent so much time trying to figure this out. Here's a list of the things I've seen suggested on the web, and which I've tried, but to no avail:
* compatibility mode change for bf42.exe.
* "run as administrator" mode for both origin.exe and bf42.exe
* resolution change to 800*600 for monitor
* check for updates and repair install options in origin for Battlefield 1942
* disabling windows firewall and internet security software
* creating exception in windows firewall for Origin
* reinstall Origin and Battlefield 1942
* system restart
Nothing seems to work.
Edit: To be explicit, when I either click the desktop icon or click the Play button in Origin, a window appears saying "Launching ... Battlefield 1942." The window disappears after a couple seconds and nothing happens.
