    Exclamation Battlefield 1942 can't play online

    Hi all wonder if anyone can help, i have BF1942 and the latest patch installed but i cant play online. It works fine offline but as soon as i try to join a game after loading the server it Crashs to the Desk top ??. My specs are 2400xp, 512ram, HD60gb(40gb free space),Geforce FX5200 (gainward), OS XP Home Edition, and Broadband. I have sygate personal firewall plus AVG anti virus (the free one),my system is not overclocked. I have no problem playing other online games and in fact can play Battlefield Vietnam without any probs, any help would be most appreciated thanks in advance.

    i dont think having a cd problem would make it crash to the desktop.
    have you made sure that your firewalll is configured to let BF1942 access the internet?
    or maybe you could try it without having the FW and anti virus on?
