that sounds like the usual problem:
take alook at the folder with all ur maps where u have installed to new maps.
should be in C:'/programms/EA Games/battlfield 1942/mods/bf1942/archives/bf1942/levels.
make sure u have only .rfa (dot rfa) files if u have any kind of other files in there ur game is not going to work.

when u downloaded the map pack u had to open the pack somewhere on ur computer then copie the .rfa files and paste the in the right folder mentioned above. i hope that helps

This is a link to a post I made about which maps should be where.
I think the Tunisia map has caused some problems in the past.

Hey BigBopper welcome to the server!

If you have fun on our server, play fair, join us on Teamspeak, post in the forums, and eventually one of us will recommend you to the powers that be to join the clan.

Jimbo has a write up on joining the clan here http://www.jiff.net/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=349.

I look forward to seeing you out there sometime.
I have decided to produce and sell a strong alcoholic drink called "Responsibly".
That way everyone in the country can get wasted drinking Responsibly.
And all the other drinks makers will be advertising for me on their cans with the slogan "please drink Responsibly".
Probably will annoy the government as well.

Read this link on where to download it and how to set up Teamspeak http://www.jiff.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1450

Then create a new post on the Teamspeak thread and Tissueman will contact you at some point to give you access.
