When I try to load a map nothing happens. It doesn't crash or take me back to the desktop, it just doesn't load. The progress bar doesn't move an inch. I have Geforce 2 MX 440, Athlon XP 1800+, 512 MB Ram.
I have updated my Geforce 2 MX440 to 44.71. The latest version is 45.23 but when I update to that version my Warcraft 3, NFS: Hot Pursuit 2, and Madden NFL 2004 all have some kind of missing artwork problem. So I'm sticking to version 44.71.
I fixed the problem. I just had to turn the resolution down to the lowest. But now there's another problem. The mouse pointer won't move when I start the game. This problem started while I was playing and I got a blue screen telling me the problem. It wasn't my RAM's problem so it must have been a program problem. I have Windows XP Professional Edition.
Wow -- really? I haven't heard of that fix before.
Your system can handle a higher resolution than 640*480, so I would suggest turning it up one or two notches to see if that corrects your new problem. This can be done by doing the following:
Browse to EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings\Profiles\<your profile>, open Video.con, find "game.setGameDisplayMode," and change "640 480" to "800 600" to start with.
If your mouse is USB, are you by any chance using a PS/2 adapter with it? Those can be known to cause some problems.
I don't think there was a log file. I only got a link a Microsoft support site which led me to http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp. I used it to check for problems in my RAM but there wasn't any. Now there is no way for me to play Battlefield 1942, I even reinstalled the game. Just forget about this.
I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
