It wont work on protected servers since the game files are modified. Same thing as to use the NO-CD patch. EA really need to fix this.
Thanks for all your information guys, we provided a list with your details to the studio.
Could you please check following topic and acknowledge if this workaround helped you?

Come on! Why cant you solve this? Why should your cutomer service fix something that should work automatically, seems like a whole lot of more work than needed.
People have aldready confirmed that the "solution" is working, but really? COME ON!

Yes, thank you! An advisor was able to help my friend get the game to launch. - volarus12 years agoNot applicable
The work around did seem to work, however, why did it take so long for this link to be posted? Also, it took a fair amount of time to complete. Between creating the Pogo account, linking it, then waiting for ever for the support person to contact me, to the lengthy conversation, it was a good 45-50 minutes to get this fixed.
I am glad that the game is now working, and I appreciate the responce, but I am not happy it took almost two weeks to get it.

Volarus, what work around was this? I may sound shallow when I don't want to spend the effort like that to get this working, especially when it means getting yet another set of account / password info to remember and safeguard.
I have this problem to. My origin account original had BF3 and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, then I added the Humble Bundle games before adding BF1942 Free. I've tried using Google to search for solutions and all I seem to find are people suggesting to use compatibility mode to no avail.
I've tried repairing the installation multiple times between restarts. Tried setting the program to start with and without origin overlay and in and out of compatability mode with Windows XP / XP SP 2 / XP SP 3 / Windows 98. If I use windows trouble shoot and only that to use recommended settings (to windows 98) and launch the program it tells me that I am missing ssleay32.dll
My experience is when trying to launch either the .exe through explorer or through Origin I'll see the process in the task manager appear for an instant and close. No error message will pop up or anything. Other than Origin telling me "Preparing to launch Battlefield 1942" I wouldn't even know I was launching the game at all!
However, the errors do show up in event viewer:
General:
Fault bucket , type 0 Event Name: PCA2 Response: Not available Cab Id: 0 Problem signature: P1: BF1942.exe P2: 0.0.0.0 P3: BF1942.exe P4: unknown P5: unknown P6: 200 P7: -1 P8: P9: P10: Attached files: These files may be available here: C:\Users\Alexander\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue\NonCritical_BF1942.exe_52357ce4a514a14355ebf64bf4c775c4878f1d6_13841cdf Analysis symbol: Rechecking for solution: 0 Report Id: c28ae6f3-13ba-11e3-9697-f46d0414262a Report Status: 4
And "These files may be available here" led me to Report, a WER File, which read:

This is one of those things that depresses me about PC gaming. Those problems that no one knows how to fix and the few people that don't have the problem seem to be rude about it outside of this site. Thank you for looking into the problem EA and I hope you can maybe help me understand what my issue is.

Thank you, support team, for your patience and help.

I have been in contact with the customer support and that did not help my case at all. Now i give up and hope EA will solve this in the future. The move from steam to Origin have brought nothing but troubles. Good try EA but sad execution. Do it again and do it right, or go back to Steam.. that works!

After the second time contacting the EA support i've now got a working game. The support person gave me a new licence of the game.
