Hi, I am having a problem with Battlefield 1942. It freezes 5 seconds into the game. I Really don't now what can be causing this.

AMD X2 3800+ Dual Core CPU
Nvidia 6800GS 256mb (256bit) GPU
2GB PC 4200 (OCz) RAM
Windows XP Sp 2. Media Center Edition.
250Gb Harddrive (Seagate)
550Watt PSU

I played Battlefield 1942 with my Onboard GeForce 6100, and it worked fine, but I can't seem to figure out what the problem is?. BTW I have the newest drivers installed. And I can run Battlefield 2 on Highest settings with no LAG WHAT SO EVER!. The Temperature is not a problem as it runs fine with BF2. Ive tried to disable Firewall and antivirus, to no success. And This wont work for SINGLE PLAYER OR MULTIPLAYER SO PLZ HELP !!

Uninstall and delete the folder, reinstall BF 42 BUT FIRST try this go here

C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\Battlefield 1942\Mods\bf1942\Settings

and make sure your renderer.setFullScreen is set to 1 and renderer.allowAllRefreshRates is set to one

renderer.setFullScreen 1
renderer.fieldOfView 1
renderer.globalLodRadius 1
renderer.globalLodRadiusScaleFactor 5
console.showStats 0
renderer.allowAllRefreshRates 1
