I just bought the original Battlefield 1942.. after installing it and trying to run it, the screen just flashed and went back to the desktop.
i did this to fix it...
open the VideoDefault.con file where BF1942 is installed and edit the line
renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 0
to
renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1
it's pretty shoddy programming if u ask me! it looks like it locks the refresh to 60Hz! which is a bitch if ur running at 100Hz!!!
btw. i still had to do this after the 1.1 update patch!

I had the similar problem running Sudden Strike 2 on Window 98 SE as soon as I clicked start the game it just went back to the desktop so I tried to run the game again in XP and my problem has gone. It could be I'm using the Nvidia XP Detonator's driver instead of the Asus 7100 drivers.
Thanx man!
I had the same problem. Now it works =)
