So I've tried with mine but nothing seems to be working properly, I don't know if it's my game or product key I even tried calling EA support about it and they couldn't figure it out. I saw you posted a link to a free Battlefield 1942 download on another forum so I'm gonna try that one.. would the steps to patching still be the same as this?
This is me FPS by the way, I think I accidentally logged onto a old account but yeah its me lol
the free version of bf1942 is fully patched up so no need to download my patch up pack all you need is the gamespy patch to get the game to work online again.

but you still have to turn on DirectPlay and turn off all screen overlays programs like the Xbox Game DVR
after that the free version should run
this is a rare problem in bf1942 i have looked around the bf1942 community forums and i found maybe a solution.
i need to know whats the lowest screen resolution you can set on windows ? do you have 800 x 600 ?
if dont have 800 x 600 bf1942 cant run the main menu is in 800 x 600 60hz.
but maybe on your intel hd graphics you can set a Custom Resolution see this video and site.

if you still cant get bf1942 to work after this you can post on team simple tech forum
and i hope they have a solution
Yeah the lowest my resolution goes is 1021x768, I'll try some of the other things you suggested. Thanks so much for all your responses, you're the best around here man.
side note. Do you know if it is somehow possible to edit the required resolution for the game to make it match my normal display?
also i just tried the custom resolution in the Intel settings... it worked! but only so far... The game launched fine brought me to main menu everything just fine but then when i try to start a game it just freezes when i click start. I can hear the theme playing but it doesn't load. Tried messing around with the in game resolution and graphic options as well and also keeps freezing..
the bf1942 main menu can only run on 800 x 600 resolution so you need have that resolution on your screen.
but when the game is running you can change to any screen resolution thats supported by your screen.
you see when you start a game and start loading a map blackscreen.exe run for a few seconds and change the game to resolution you set in the video settings.
the only thing i still can think of is to use the hdmi port on your laptop and plug in a monitor that support the screen resolutions you need
and this is the point were i run out of ideas maybe team simple tech forum can help you
