Can you do a right-click -> Repair Install please, just in case there is something wonky with the game files.

    Open the game folder with Windows Explorer, default location would be here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 1942

    Then right-click the bf1942.exe and select Properties. Click the Compatibility tab in the new window, set it to Windows XP or 7, confirm with a click on OK and try launching the game again.
