Hi All.
A mate of mine has just bought a new laptop - dual core AMD, 256mb Nvidia (cant remember number) etc. The specs are well above the min required. However, when he clicks the ICON to load the game the screen goes black and bounces him back to desktop for both BF1942 and BF2. He is using Vista - so I guess it may need to be run as Administrator and under a different O/S compatibility. I tried running it under Win98. Win 2000, Win XP - and the same thing happens - black - CTD. I googled and search - and found that Run as Adminstrator and the changing the OS was the fix - but I tried that and it still wont run.
I did the "will it run" test within BF1942 - and the only check mark which said "no" was OS - as it saw it as Win NT. So I think its fair to say it has to be OS related. Any advice out there please?
PS - I did use the search function but not luck.
Cheers
