Is our server now running 7.1 or 1.61? If we are running 1.7, it explains why I can't getr on.
See ya on the Battlefield

I know you probably already done this pop but did you install all the 1.7 parts in the right order.......I thought I had a problem when trying to install part 2 of 5 didn't seem to be doing anything, so I left that window running and went onto install part 3 of 5. Once that was installed hey presto part 2 said it was installed!!!
Played last night for the first time and had no probs.
Good luck :papa:

Hey pop , I found this article on how to get your BF1942 installed on Win 7. You will of course need to get BF1942 installed before installing BG1942.
The article is straightforward and the process appears to be quite painless... http://tankpanzer.com/Joomla/index.php/bf42/5-bf42win7 :)

Just a note regarding compatibility mode pop , in addition to ticking the box for bf1942.exe to "run as an administrator" you must also set the compatibility mode to "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)"
