Sorry emile44, I was on Windows 7 after a NTOSKRNL.exe error forced a Full Factory Reset, then re updated to Win 8.1 which I had to do last year when a Seagate 2TB Hard Drive fried itself, out of warranty time of course....I had BF1942 working but now it wont load, tried your solution, no luck. I have the old Battlefield 1942 The Complete Collection with 8 discs, good news is Battlefield Vietnam still kinda works tho sounds arent right and cant make em work cause no option to run in Win98/ME mode which would make it do. Thanks for the try!
are you sure ? that install path of the patch up pack was ok
first make sure the game runs Compatibility mode win xp sp3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52SV6S4x4-I

if all fail

- @emile44 Thank you emile44. I lost the number 1 disk for BF1942 a few years ago. Recently I had a hankering to play the game again. One of my favorite maps, Eagles Nest, was not available via the version I have on Origin as it only includes the original release and none of the expansions. (The BF2 custom version of Eagles Nest made by imtheheadhunter & EzPiKnZ is okay, but not as good as the original)
Anyway, I found an unused copy of the anthology in a charity shop selling for £0.50, so snapped it up a few days ago. When i installed it, I couldn't get it to work. I tried several things before searching online and came across your comment; so I downloaded your pack and it worked. I'm so pleased as I loved BF1942,, especially the expansion. Despite its now ancient graphics, its still an amazing game. I remember buying it when it was released (still got the original copy as well) and was awed by its immersion. I thought BF Vietnam was however a better game and am still playing that occasionally. Again, thanks for posting. Very much appreciated. Really looking forwards to installing some of the custom maps I had backed up on disks. 🙂

I'm closing this thread to stop it being necroed.
If you have any issues with Battlefield please make a new topic about the issues you are having and what kind of steps you have tried to solve it.
