Problem with BF1942, some things work, others don't

Did an install after taking a few years away from the game and the new install has some oddities with it. I've done the patch pack, 1.6.19, 1.61b, and 1.61b.

When I play, it only lets me start on the first map (Single Player), the controls for the aircraft don'w work, but other vehicles do and the video won't change resolutions, even though the options show up. Sounds like a problem with the registry to me, but I cleared out any EA games entries and BF1942 entries.

Machine is running Win 7 Pro, i5 with 8GB of memory and ran it just fine before.  Any ideas?

  • I have no explanation why you cant change resolutions  bf1942 does not store profiles into registry but into

    C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings\Profiles\

    make sure the game is running  with  win xp sp3 mode and administrator rights

    also do you have multiplayer ?  this way i know you install the gamespy patch fix alot of problems with the game
