give me a black screen then exit to windows
I tried new 3D drivers, tried old 3D drivers and I still have the same issue. If I normally try to run the game, I get the hour glass for a second then nothing happens. I pulled up the "task manager" to see if the program was actually active when I was trying to open it and it appears that the program didn't even run for the split second I saw the hour glass.
Did anyone else ever have this issue, you click the icon and nothing happens, at all?

This is almost definitely caused by EA's completely senseless setting of the imposed refresh rate lock. If you're trying to run the game at any rate above 60Hz, your game will crash to the desktop.
Go to your BF1942 folder, doubleclick
mods, doubleclick
BF1942, doubleclick
settings, and open your
defaultvideo.con file with a text editor such as Notepad. Change the
render.allowAllRefreshRates from
0 to
1, save it and go play!
Be advised that you must do this EVERY TIME you install a patch or upgrade. For some reason, Dice choses to reset this value to 0 with every patch.
Sorry for the dealy in responding to this, but I just saw it for the first time this morning.
